Very Fine. Superbly executed "bokashi" shading to sky, rooftop, distant mountain, and foreground; light
"gauffrage" to roof-edges and railing; light "baren sujizuri" to foreground; life-like shadowing; nicely detailed carving. |

Excellent. Fresh, strong colors. Very clean margins and verso. (Slight toning margins--otherwise
absolutely flawless.) An amazingly fresh print. |
