| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Here is a vintage Japanese woodblock print in excellent condition. I do not know the artist but have attached a number of photos for the knowledgeable expert. The woodblock print measures 16-1/8 x 11-1/4" and is set loosely in a thin white matting that measures 18-1/4 x 13-5/8". I assume writing on the right hand side is the title and the artist's seal and signature. This print is beautiful and in excellent condition.
This is the 4th resting point along the trail to the top of Fuji.
