Steve Sly Japanese Works of Art has dated this piece to the 1890s.
Softer tones of silk are used to create the backdrop and landscape which cleverly contrasts the bustling water crashing against the rocks. The tapestry is bordered with a silk brocade and sits behind glass within its lacquered frame. The backboard bears the all-important label for arguably the most highly revered manufacturer of the period, that of the Sozayemon Nishimura, with outlets in Kyoto and Tokyo Nishimura were to become suppliers to the Imperial household.
Condition report:
The silk sits behind glass and remains vibrant with minimal signs of fading and very little wear.
