| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Selling a very fine and scarce Kaoru Kawano woodblock print titled "Little Flora". The image size is 16 1/4"x22 1/2" and the paper size is 17 3/4" x 23 1/2". The edition size is marked 8/50 very small. The print is signed in pencil and numbered outside the image. The "Self-carved- Self-Printed seal is on the back of the print with a seal. The condition is good. There is masking tape on the back from the previous framing and there is one small spot in the image as shown. Aside from these issues it is quite original and good. |
