Print presents well with fresh colors and contains a poem by Rokujuen (Yadoya Meshimori). The condition of the work is consistent with its age. Mild toning to sheet appearing slightly heavier along extreme edges likely due to vestiges of adhesive around verso border. Mild handling dents throughout sheet with some light creasing primarily evident under raking light. Mild accretions/build up on vestiges of adhesive verso. Two areas of previous hinge tape in upper verso corners. Unframed. No tears or losses observed.
