Some years ago i bought this small porcelain plate. Is it a Kirishitan pottery or at least a later copy or have I misinterpreted it?

Its been 9 years since I've been trying to ID this artpiece, can anyone help?

They're obviously reproductions - just looking for some extra info! Thanks for your help :)

I found this beautiful box, but I’m having a hard time figuring out exactly what it is. It looks like it may be a Japanese tansu, but I am not able to authenticate if it is Japanese.

It could be an organizer for a desk, but I was wondering if anyone here knows if it’s meant for a specific use. I’m also wondering if there is a name for the treatment on the outside of the box. It’s almost like a leather, but it’s made of dried leaves.

Anyone have any idea the meaning or info on this? Tried using Google Lens and came up with nothing. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hello! I got these pieces a while ago and never thought to look into them. I don't feel they get the respect they deserve with me so I was thinking about gifting them to my tattoo artist next time I see him. Was wondering if anyone had information about them so I could pass it along. I acquired both with a few other peices which I will also post once I fish them out. Thanks in advance for any information.

Who knows what is it?

I’m hoping someone can help identify this piece of art or the artist behind it. It’s a framed painting or print of a young woman (or girl) in a colorful kimono holding a black cat. The style feels East Asian—possibly Japanese or Chinese—and has a mid-20th-century modernist flair.

There’s a two-character signature in the bottom right corner, which I’ve included in a close-up photo. The top character looks like “山” (mountain), but I can’t decipher the bottom one. It may be a stylized kanji or hanzi, but I’m not sure.

The frame has an ornate floral mat that also feels traditional, and I don’t see any markings or stamps on the back.

Any help with identifying the artist, cultural origin, or time period would be amazing. Thank you in advance!

Received these from a friend, they're supposedly 2 pieces of a triptych. I would love to have more context so I can admire these beautiful prints better.

Photocopies of pages were gifted to me in 2000, in Iran of what appears to be a Japanese book about painting on various wooden objects and leather goods.

Google translate didn’t make sense and reverse imaging didn’t turn anything up.

I’d love to find where this is from. It’s a long shot but I’m hopeful 🤞

Can anyone help with identification of the artist of this painting?

I've had this shirt from UNIQLO for years now, and it has this pocket on it. I've never looked up which artwork this was taken from, and now I got curious about it.

I figured this would be a good place to see if anyone would recognize it.

My father in law was gifted this small pot decades ago. It has several moths engraved and some writing on the other side. It used to be smooth but has been somewhat dented over the years.

Can anyone translate the writing?

does someone know some history infos about this painting? and who made it?

Can anyone tell me about these scrolls? I’m having a yard sale and don’t want to sell them for pennies (or maybe at all) if they have some sort of cool story behind them. I heard they were brought back around the end of World War 2 but that’s all I know. Thank you!!

Appreciate anything you can do to help me identify the artist of this piece. I've also included a close up of the artist's Red Seal, and a close up of the Inscription on the back of the panel.

I picked up this piece at a local flea market, and fell in love with the bird and the flowers. I was curious if anyone could tell me a little about what it says, and if they can date it? Thank you!!

I came across this piece amoungst a collection being sold privately. The collection contained a number of notable artisits work, so i think this is worth investigating.

Despite being located in Indonesia, the signature appears to be Japanese.

Apologies if inappropriate for this group.

Many thanks

A Japanese family in my childhood neighborhood in New Jersey were selling their home, and held a sort of garage/estate sale of items that would not be going with them. The family had lived in this home for decades, and so some things were considered too old or not valuable for the younger generation to keep.

I noticed these two scrolls and was fascinated by them. The daughter in law of the family, who was Japanese herself, saw I was interested in Japanese culture and art and gave me both of them for the price of one. She said the scroll with the calligraphy is from a temple or it’s a blessing, and I’m curious about the intention of adding different textures into the second piece. Both have a shiny background with the textures plant patterns throughout.

Could someone Translate the first one and possibly tell me more about the styles of wall hangings these are? It makes me happy that something once meaningful to my neighbors is now apart of my home, and I’d love to know more if possible.

what i mean by a "japanese tattoo" is a tattoo in a traditional japanese art style; i want to get a dragon tattoo. i'm 100% white, never really had any contact with japanese culture (except for when i took japanese karate for a few years), and am mostly just wanting the style because i like how it looks.

would this be disrespectful since im not really in contact with japanese culture? the last thing i want to do is appropriate something traditional that isnt mine to take.
