[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 357276, member: 84"]Hi all, I found this today doing my reg thrift store rounds & immediately bought it - it was only $30. The painting looks real/hand done & what made me believe it was vintage at the least was that the screws in the back hinges are the old slot screws, not phillips screws - plus the hinges themselves look older. But I can't remember ever seeing a Japanese or Chinese indian! I know about Samurai's but I don't think I've seen anything with them wearing pants like this - usually a robe? (another reason I liked it) Can anyone tell me what the writings says - artist's name? And what the different things painted around it mean, if anything? Finally, is it old/vintage & hand painted, or is it something made to look old? PS - It measures 27"L x 19"W x 12.5"H Thanks all - I appreciate any info - even if not old, if its hand painted it's a very cool piece!
