| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a beautiful image of a Japanese village at night with a full moon. The print is an original, not a reproduction. I do not know the artist or title of the print but it is clearly marked as you can see in the insert images. It appears to be quite old but I have no way of verifying its age. Judging by the paper, etc. I would guess it may be from the 1920s or 30s. But that is just a guess. At some point the print sustained some minor discoloration due to exposure to water. I obtained this print in the early 1970s and have never displayed it. It has a few pin holes in the top and bottom border. I am selling as is. The image is approx 15 x 8¼ inches. |
