The size of this woodblock print is 11 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of the print’s Japanese mulberry Washi paper. All four borders are intact.
