I'm not an expert on woodblock prints but this really is attractive and from what I can tell seems to be in very good condition. The colors are bright and vivid. The only thing that might be of concern (or might be by design) is that there are very faint vertical lines spaced approx. every 1 1/8" in the paper. They do not correspond as far as I can tell to the backing material and look to me almost like water marks in the paper from the paper manufacturer. If you have any specific questions about the condition I will try to answer them for you. This Ono Bakufu woodblock print measures approx. 16" wide by 21" high both measures include the frame.

Modern Japanese woodblock print by Bakufu Ohno. Published in 1949. Good condition. See photographs. It is approximately 15 inches wide by 10 inches high. Up for auction is an original antique Japanese woodblock print by Bakufu Ohno and dates from 1949. This is a 1st printing and was printed by Kyoto-Hangain. The woodblock print is from the series "Flowers and Birds" and is titled "Iris and Bird". Signed in the lower corner and marked on the edges as seen in the photos. Great colorful image and has awesome detail. In excellent condition with no tears, no holes, no folds, no creases, no water damage, no fading and no fauxing. The woodblock print has never been framed and the color is excellent. No trimmed or cut edges. Actual woodblock print measures approx. 16 1/4 by 11 inches. Saturday, 18 March 2006

hello,
I do not have a print for sale at this time but wanted to tell you the name that is listed on my Ohno Bukufu print.
It is entitled "little bird with river orchids." I jhave inherited it from a friend. I suspect it was picked up in the San Diego area some years ago.

You have mentioned that you do not have a name for it.
I am attaching a digital e-print so that you may see the image and information.

If you care to give me some information of the image's value I would like to know.
