| Impression |
Excellent. Skillful "bokashi" shading to grey sky and background; "gauffrage" pattern to cartouche and a cross-hashed pattern to much of print's background; crisp, highly detailed carving of individual hair-lines. |
| Condition |
Very Good++. Strong colors. (Minor scattered marks and flaws.) Original Japanese album backing; full, original margins. |

| Comments |
Dramatic image. Hotei, the God of Happiness and Good Fortune, leans against his bag of treasures as he points upward towards the moon. |
