[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 1835502, member: 14066"]The following image is of an artwork piece which used to be in the Robyn Buntin of Honolulu Gallery, until it closed. I am not suggesting they are by the same artist, merely that the time period may be the same due to the manner and styling cues are so similar. Reading your items hand-written wording, I can only make out the top character as being 招. Although I could translate it, by itself would be a meaningless thing to do and would only result in providing a word which may have no significance to the image nor artist. Without the second character the meaning of one character alone is irrelevant. Unfortunately, I cannot read the second character clearly enough, which is a common problem with hand-written characters. [B]A late Meiji period (1868-1912) genre scene [I]painting[/I]. In the foreground, a [I]mother[/I] carries her [I]baby[/I] on her back.[/B] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/20/f0/db/20f0dbcd8b59dfff69be371eee5e075e.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
