Very rarely seen. The workmanship in both carving and printing is simply superb?very nice gradation of colors (“bokashi”) virtually throughout print with various shadings of blues, greens and soft pinks. Print is in excellent condition?no tears, no stains, no fading--no flaws noted. Great image!! Image measures 9 3/8 x 9 7/8 inches.
