| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a vintage wood block print, not an original wood block. It is a gorgeous print that was professionally framed in the 1950’s and is ready to hang. I have no idea how old the print actually is. The print inside the matting measures 9¾ x 7¼ inches. The overall dimensions of the framed picture is 15½ x 13½.
On the backing of the picture frame is marked, “Original woodcut print by Uchida Hide “Takao Nishiki” (Autumn in Takao).” There are no flaws that I can find. I have 2 other similar items.
