The title of this print, publication date, publisher’s chop stamp “Kyoto Hanga Printmaker”and the carver and printer’s chop marks are in the lower left border of the print. There is a watermark“Kyoto Hanga Printmaker” in the bottom border. The size of this woodblock print is 16 3/4 x 13 1/2 inches. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding through can be seen through the back of the original Japanese mulberry Washi paper. Four borders are intact. Except for some very minor and short wrinkles and light foxing in the top border due to the print’s age, which do not affect the images, this original woodblock print is in excellent condition.
