It is foxed overall as it was painted years ago.
There are some spots and stains on the painting, however, these are not
so noticeable.
Three tears at the top part of the mounting have already been repaired
with the same cloth (Please refer to the picture below.).
As a whole, the condition of this scroll is not bad.
The motif samurai was painted very well and elaborately.
He is playing Japanese traditional instrument Sho.
What a gracious and elegant samurai he is !
This is very tasteful scroll.
