These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.:
This is a beautiful woodblock print by sosaku hanga printmaker Kaoru Kawano. It is oban size, about 14 x 9 plus full margins. It is in its original presentation folder, never framed. Bears Kawano's early black seal verso. There are a couple of handling creases that go into the image, but they are not obtrusive; otherwise, the print is in excellent shape.
