This is a stunning woodblock print by Japanese Master SHIRO KASAMATSU depicting a "Five Story Pagoda at Ueno in Tokyo." Print is in beautiful condition, having never been framed or folded. There appears to be one very small area of wear on the print in the lower part of the full moon, which may even have been created during the printing process. The print measures 10.75" x 16."
