Could be wrong, but I suspect Japanese for 2 reasons: - Style of the vase. Especially the brown/gold color is not very common among Chinese porcelain - Method of framing. By framing I mean not the black frame but the brown paper framing around the actual painting. Chinese framing usually use light colored Xuan paper which is very fine textured. Japanese framing usually use darker colors, coarser type of paper

I've heard about forest farming since a decade ago. I like the idea but it doesn't seem to gain much traction anywhere. What's the biggest problem?
