Condition
Very good antique condition for its age. The image displays beautifully with strong color and fine printed detail. The paper exhibits light age toning throughout, along with a few minor creases and light handling wear consistent with age. There is a small amount of edge wear and a few faint spots in the margins, but no major tears or repairs were noted. The reverse retains the original publisher\'s red imprint. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description.
A wonderful addition to any collection of Japanese art, ukiyo-e, Hokusai, or early 20th-century art publications.
