This is a beautiful woodblock print. The colors are wonderful. Nice bleed through. I know nothing about woodblock art, I aquired this and a few others at a auction. It is affixed at top to cardboard matte, with Sogan and Flying Geese in pencil at bottom. Marked Made in Japan on back. Minor foxing? (see photo) at left edge dot . It measures 4 1/2" x 7".
