Kobayashi Kokei - Thistle (Azami) Hanging Scroll Kobayashi Kokei (1883-1957) was a master of modern Japanese painting who was born in Niigata Prefecture and made a significant contribution to the history of modern Japanese painting during the Taisho and Showa periods. This hanging scroll came out during the sorting of my grandfather's belongings. It has been stored in a storehouse without being displayed, so please judge the noticeable scratches and stains from the photos. I do not know the details of the item, but please purchase it if you are still interested. Please understand the images and description before purchasing.
