| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
You are bidding on an original Japanese woodblock print "Water Lilly" made in Showa 12, which is 1937. The print size is 14 3/4 inch x 10 3/4 inches. Colors are vivid and vibrant. The artist's signature is at the lower left edge of this woodblock print. The four borders are intact. In the lower right border, the writing says: "Water Lilly" and in the left border, the upper writing says "Made in April Sowa 12", the lower chop stamp is the publisher's mark, which includes the writing "copy is prohibited". This woodblock print is attached to an original Japanese Washi backing paper to protect it from tear and strong ink bleeding can still be seen through the back of print. There are a couple of very minor wrinkles at the top of the print due to the print's age as you can see from the picture.
