[QUOTE="Ger, post: 966721, member: 73187"] Assuming the seal type characters are more or less te same in Chinese and Japanes for these old scrolls (true?), I tried to find them using this Chinese site: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.guoxuedashi.com/zidian/xz/[/URL] It works in Windows and only using Internet Explorer. First download this true type font: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.guoxuedashi.com/zidian/xz/swxz.ttf[/URL] Then click the file and hit install in the appearing window. Now back to the search window. The right part shows seal style character parts. I chose 山 and 艸 apearing in the top seal of the kakejiku: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.guoxuedashi.com/zidian/xz/?q2=%E5%B1%B1%E8%89%B8[/URL] That gave no satisfactory results. Then I chose 禾 apearing in front of the bottom seal character of the kakejiku. The true type version misses the downward stroke to the left, but other seals suggest they are the same: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.guoxuedashi.com/zidian/xz/?q2=%E7%A6%BE[/URL] That gave no satisfactory result either. It might work using other old style parts, but I did not recognize more. Are there other free sites that let you determine seal characters? [/QUOTE]
