Impression |
Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to face, background, and above inset image;
light "gauffrage" to kimono pattern and above inset image; nicely visible "woodgrain" to background;
extensive "burnishing" to black collar and sleeves; amazingly detailed carving. |
Condition |
Very Good++. Excellent colors, with original Japanese album backing.
(Trimmed to image edge on two sides; minor marks and flaws.) |

Comments |
