I know nothing about this painting.  I have had it since around 2005 and it has been rolled in this cool poster tube to protect it.  I used to travel to Japan frequently so I think that is where I got it.  Has some slight wear on edges and backside from whomever owned it prior to me.  Through goole image search I saw a few instances of listings on ebay for $300 framed.  The language in the middle of the painting translates to "Endure".  Smoke Free Home.
