Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to sky, distant mountains, water, and foreground; wonderfully visible
woodgrain; amazingly life-like reflection; nice "gauffrage" (embossing) to clouds and Fuji's snowfields; baren "sujizuri" to
foreground; finely carved details. (Tiny printer's smudge lower/right corner.) |

Nearly Excellent. (Few minor surface scratches; one bumped corner--otherwise flawless.) |

Beautifully colored and striking lakeshore/Fuji scene. Appropriate seal for First Edition printing--highly visible woodgrain. |
