Hi all,
I have a client who has a Japanese Fukusa that she would like information on: age, what story the image is telling etc. The piece is 27" x 34" blue silk bordered with red silk crepe. The silk and gold thread embroidery shows a old man on a horse on a bridge over a river. Under the bridge is a golden dragon, across the river is a warrior between them in the river is a golden slipper. If anyone has any ideas on where to start researching this (other than general searches on the internet) I would appreciate any advice. Attached is a picture the client supplied. 
Thanks for your help in advance
Anne Murray
