The Painting

I woke up today thinking about this piece of art my Dad gave me since I'm so interested in East Asia. It was given to him by his dad, who served in WWII in the Pacific. I'm not sure if he got it there or if he bought it somewhere here in America but it's definitely East Asian. There's no seal on it so I can't know who made it. My guess is the buildings in the painting are Chinese architecture but I'm not an expert. The scene was also painted on a fabric, but I don't think it's silk. There are some words but they're in characters which both Japan and China use. All I can really rule out is Korea. One of these days I'll take it to someone who can actually tell me about it. Until then, I'm just going to have to keep calling it "The Painting."
