over-splashed "gofun" snow; crisp lines. |

Very Good. Excellent colors. Slight toning; scattered "foxing" (mostly upper left); "ghosting" to grey sky;
partially trimmed margins; some wear and marks. |

Considered Koson's finest "bijin/landscape" image--however, THIS is an undocumented 91-percent-sized version.
Very RARE.(See related article.) |
