Antique Japanese hanging scroll for Hina Festival. Showing Emperor and Emperess dolls. Mineral pigments and gold on silk ( indicating early Meiji). c. 1880s.

Soiled and some pigment loss and paper scroll is worm damaged. Also scroll ends are missing.

Signature on back of scroll. Untranscribed. I believe it indicates the festival information

12 1/2” x 55”

Fair condition. Should be removed from scroll and framed as lovely little painting. I use a museum quality framer if you’d like to arrange framing or matting with me.
