If this work is framed as hanging scroll (掛け軸), with a wooden axis at the bottom, etc., then removing it from its original framingand inserting it into a glass frame, will significantly reduce its value. When I have more time, I should write a post on my blog about hanging scroll handling, so you wll know how to do it. How did you obtain the work. Wasn't it packed in a wooden box?
Post a picture of the bottom of that scroll, with clear close ups on the foldings of materiall, etc. so then I can see how it's been made. If this scoll is hand-made, and I presume it is, you will ruin it by reframing it.
