This painting is a long, narrow scroll with Japanese writing on it. The text is written in black ink on a beige background. The scroll is divided into sections, with some areas having more writing than others. The text appears to be a poem or a passage from a book, but it's difficult to read without knowing the language. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look up Maruyama Ōkyo 円山応挙.
