Condition:

This original and relatively large and rare Shima Tamami Woodblock print is in excellent condition [i.e., clear and clean image, strong and bright paper, vivid colors, original full margins, no tear, and slight but even age toning]. It was printed on high quality heavy mulberry paper with a blank verso. Ample photos [front, back, and details] in high resolution are provided for your convenience of identification and judging its excellent quality independently.

Flaws to note: There is very minor mat mark around the image in the margin, and two framing tape residues along the top edge of margin on backside, all as shown by the detailed photos.
