Impression Fine. Light "gauffrage" to hair ornament and screen's reeds; a touch of "mica" to hand-mirror; highly detailed hair-lines.
Condition Excellent. (Slight "age-mellowing" to paper; few random scattered marks. Really no flaws noted.) Original narrow margins (note "kento" marks right and bottom/right).
