As the title would entail, the manuscript is a large and beautiful painted series of landscapes and scenes, including Mount Fuji at the beginning, and numerous horses frolicking, the latter being a popular subject among various painting schools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThough the box and scroll are bereft of any labels, and the paintings themselves lack a signature, the stylistic design of the landscapes, and the way in which the horses are drawn, is very much in the style of the \u003cb\u003eKano School\u003c\/b\u003e, and this was likely a production by a student.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThe paintings have been laid down and bound in a scroll for preservation, with a beautiful brocade decorated cover of green against some faded floral patterns, and there are \u003ci\u003ejikusaki\u003c\/i\u003e (knobs), albeit detached ones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eOne brocade bound \u003ci\u003eemakimono\u003c\/i\u003e (picture scroll) on fine paper, roughly 27 x 580 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThis hand scroll is in good shape, with some rubbing and wear to the brocade cover. There are several old repairs to the rear, and one small tear to the lower margin of a painting section. There is creasing and some soiling throughout, and the final section of 72cm is cleanly detached from the rest of the scroll.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"That Guy With The Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51623216480567,"sku":null,"price":4925.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/1589\/4371\/files\/20260114_230243.jpg?v=1769975131","url":"https:\/\/thatguywiththebooks.com\/products\/hyakuba-no-zu-emaki-hundred-horses-picture-scroll-circa-1650-1750-a-kano-school-emakimono-handscroll-with-paintings-of-various-landscapes-and-scenes-including-mount-fuji-and-horses-frolicking","provider":"That Guy With The Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
