| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
You are bidding on a beautiful, striking woodblock print of a red temple on a lake against a sky blue background. The colors are extremely vibrant and bright. This print is very simple and stylized. The print measures 10 1/2" x 11 1/2" and is pasted at the the upper left corner into a folder with a mat opening. I do not know the age or artist of this woodblock. I thought it resembled Tokuriki. The print had to be scanned into 2 sections so a line may appear where none exists. The print is clean and in very good to excellent condition.
