This catalog entry is about a painting depicting Chinese Taoist figures on six scrolls. Both of them have traces of characters removed from their upper edges, suggesting they once bore signatures and seals. The painting style resembles that of Yūhōshū (1547-1618), Peach Mountain School artists such as Unkoku Tōyō. It is believed that the signatures and seals were at one point erased for some reason.
中国の仙人を六曲一双の画面にわたって描いている。両隻の左右の上端に文字を削り取った形跡があり、署名および印章がもと有ったものと思われる。画風はうたがうべくもなく桃山画壇の雄・雲谷等顔（1547～1618）のものであり、ある時点で何らかの理由により、署名、印章が消されたと思われる。

Article 2 then sets the principles: the autonomy of those who make culture must be fully respected, and their creativity, standing and capacity considered.
The cool part. Article 2, paragraph 3 is the line worth reading twice. It says that creating and receiving culture is a right people are born with, and requires an environment in which citizens can appreciate, participate and create regardless of age, disability, economic situation, or the area they live in. Four barriers named in statute, one of which is your postcode. It puts the arts in the same grammatical register as infrastructure. Not a subsidy argued for each year, a standing obligation.
