	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: This listing is for a vintage Muto Katei Japanese woodblock print titled "Engakuji Temple in Kamakura". The image measures 9 1/2" x 14 1/4" without the margins; 10 1/4" x 15 1/2" with the margins. There is a pin/pencil point sized hole in the paper in the left margin near the upper corner. It's that little dark speck you can see in the images.
