| 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 Japanese Woodblock print that measures 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". The print is mounted on what appears to be note paper that measures 7" x 4 1/2". The print is only pasted on the top. I have no idea of the age of the print or the artist. I suspect that it is quite old as the outline of the print can be seen on the paper it is mounted on. The print paper is thin and the colors have bled through. The mounting paper is a of heavier stock and has yellowed some from age. The print is in excellent condition. There are no marks, tears or creases on it. The small blue marks on the border appear to have been done when the print was made.
