Nearly Excellent. Excellent colors. Clean backside. Full, original margins (per tiny "kento" mark right edge). (Extremely light crease; 1/8 inch trimmed off top's wide margin--otherwise flawless.) |

Gorgeous image of three red-rumped swallows (Hirundo daurica) in flight under a weeping willow. PRE-1923 earthquake (note: Daikoku-ya ceased business in 1923). |
