Condition:
This original and signed woodblock is indeed in very good condition. There is no fading here. The colors are bold and strong. The blues in the print are rock solid. Often the color blue in these types of prints turns to green as a result of fading, but that is not the case here. This particular image is a rare and more hard to find woodblock. If you do your thorough research, you will not find this print. This particular image is a first edition and was printed in 1927 by Watanabe as the authentic seal is along the sides of the print. |
