The folders have titles that are woodblock prints as well. The folders and backing paper have stains, but overall the prints themselves are in good condition with a few having minor stains. The one included booklet has information on the carp (Funa) and it is dated 1938. Other fish represented are fugu (pufferfish) and grunts, as well as some that I don't recognize. |
