Condition "Pristine"-never laid down-full margins-no tears, no folds, no creases, no foxing, no stains-PERFECT! Good bleedthrough on verso (see scan). Complete with HASUI signature and Sui and Watanabe cartouche (see scans).
Colors are vibrant and striking. One of the most beautiful HASUI prints I have ever seen. Our scan does not capture the beauty of this magnificent print. Scan shows slight discoloration on margins..this DOES NOT appear on the actual print!
