Very Fine. Superbly executed "bokashi" shading to kimono, face, shoji screen, and orange background; "burnishing" highlights to black hair; highly detailed, crisply carved lines. |

Very Good++. Strong colors. Light soiling; backed binding holes right edge, tiny hole left red; light Japanese album backing. (Unfolded--lacks two folds typical of "kuchi-e".) |
