Art help

Can someone help me out? This "poster" came from Mom's house, in a tube wtih posters from Grandma's house. Grandma and Grandpa traveled all over the world. No idea as to where or when it was acquired.

The paper is thin (almost translucent) and "soft" feeling - almost like crepe paper ribbon paper. Can see fibers in it, etc.

Any hints on style, country/area of origin (Asian/Oriental?), age?

Burma or Cambodia spring to my mind first.

Dunno. Showed it to a couple of the art faculty here at the college and they referred me to a local gallery for identification/valuation. Don't want to pay for a real appraisal...

Could use it for a PPOT Xmas Gift Trade this year... but there were also some Porsche posters in the tubes which may be more appreciated.

Probably rice paper. Otherwise I agree with Motion.

Based on the look of the roofs with the "horns" I would say Chinese ...
