Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Tuesday, 12 October 2010 Here is a lovely original limited edition woodblock print by the Japanese woman artist Tamami Shima, who died in 1999. This is marked 16/50 and signed in both Japanese and English with her name. This measures 23 x 16 1/2; the image is 20 x 14 1/2. It depicts a landscape with Tamami Shima's signature dark trees with bare branches set against a hillside. The colors are lovely and subtle.
