Title: Piece Artist: Unknown Vertical rectangular artwork with a predominantly blue background. A dragon-like creature with green scales and gold accents is at the bottom. The creature has a long, curved body and appears to be emerging from or surrounded by clouds and water. Above the creature are several large, dark and light-colored clouds. A rainbow-like arc with gold, yellow, and green hues spans from the top-left corner. In the top-right corner, there is an orange seal or stamp with Japanese characters. The artwork appears to be on a fabric or textile material with visible signs of wear and tear, such as fraying and discoloration around the edges.
