Overcome

This wall scroll is discounted because of a red hue in the background of the painting (not really smudges, but just slightly uneven red coloration. You can't see it in the photo, and will only see it under bright lights in real life. This is a great bargain, as the flaw is easy to ignore.

In Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja, 克服 means “overcome” (as in overcoming hardships, etc.). It can also mean to conquer, to put up with, or to endure. This can be a conquest over a problem, disease, handicap, poverty, or illness. Other definitions include overcoming, bringing under control, subjugation, or victory over something. This can be used as an inspirational wall scroll to remind someone to try to overcome difficulties that may arise in life.
