Impression |
Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to upper/lower sky, Fuji, distant mountain-tops, hillside,
foreground, water, and title cartouche; visible woodgrain to sky; light "gauffrage" (embossing) to lower
sky's clouds; highly detailed carving. |
Condition |
Very Good to Nearly Excellent. Fresh, strong colors. (Light toning, few scattered spots, slight trimming.)
Retains original light album backing. |

Comments |
The masterpiece of the series. Verified (via woodgrain) to be printed off of ORIGINAL woodblocks. A fine
printing from the 1891 "Memorial Edition," with much attention to detail. Exceptional condition due to having been
preserved inside an album. |
