Superb. Wonderfully executed "bokashi" shading to faces, kimono and blankets; "burnishing" to give the black hairs a layered look; amazingly detailed carving, 43 hairs per centimeter (or about 108 hairs per inch)!! |

Excellent. Strong colors. (Very minor soils--otherwise flawless.) Retains original album backing. |
