What a red ghost can look like

This wall scroll is discounted because of a minor red ghost.

If you are wondering, red ghost refers to a red shadow of the artist's red signature stamp. This is sometimes transfer from a previous painting which happens when the artist signs all of his work at the same time and piles up the paintings before the red ink is dry. It's more common than I would like, and it costs me a lot of money - but I am picky about quality, so my loss is your gain.

This depicts Jiang Ziya sometimes known as Jiang Tai Gong of the famous idiom.

Jiang Tai Gong was famous for not putting bait on his hook, and saying, "I only wish to catch fish who want to be caught". He did not believe in using forceful methods, and instead wanted nature to take its course.
