| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Up for auction is this rare and original woodblock print of a lovely girl with birds by well known Japanese artist Kawano Kaoru. (1916-1965); Signed in pencil and chop stamped with the artist seal. near bottom left side. He is listed in many art reference books and is also listed in the Davenports art price guide. This is a really nice example of his work. It is in VERY GOOD+ to FINE condition.. Measures a large 11 3/8 inches by 16 3/4 inches... There is a light glue residue line that is present around the entire back face of the margin. This was probably caused by the print being matted and lightly glued face down at one time. At no time does this glue residue line extent into the image area
