As you might know, this original print should have been published around
Showa 7th (1932) with so-called Kotondo seal on its verso. As this print,
however, had no Kotondo seal nor edition number on its verso. Its condition
was pretty good except a few mica comings off and visible stains on down
margin and left up corner. Please refer to the atacched images.
