<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayBee, post: 1343427, member: 9259&quot;]This is a Chinese painting, not Japanese, I think, and not related to anyone&#039;s death. I</p><p>can&#039;t read all the characters, because the characters are somewhat blurred with the painting, but the last characters seem to be Tian Jin Mei Yuan; Tian Jin is the name of the city (in North China, a couple of hours east of Beijing,) and Mei Yuan is short for Mei Shu Xue Yuan, Institute/Academy of Fine Arts (of Tian Jin.)</p><p>It is customary for Chinese artists to inscribe a painting with a line from a poem, thought, place where it was painted, date, among other things. </p><p>Maybe with a bit more time and better images more could be said. It&#039;s a nice painting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
