Sunday, 24 July 2005 Also -- Do you know THIS artist? I can't make out his signature -- have enlarged it, below. Print is approximately the same size as the Fujita. We bought these prints in Japan in 1970, and hadn't thought much about them until lately, when we ran out of wall space. We are interested in selling the prints, so if you know collectors, we would appreciate having that information. You've been most gracious! |
