Very Fine. Skillful, soft "bokashi" shading throughout; light "gauffrage" to waves; visible woodgrain to sky;
life-like reflection. (Printed largely without the use of black "key-lines.") |

Very Good to Nearly Excellent. Strong colors. Full margins. (Few minor surface scratches; slight wear; light age-toning.) |

| Comments |
Not often seen--a delightfully colorful sailboat/sunset image. Ito's images largely lack black "key-lines"--thusly imparting an
overall soft, "watercolor" appearance. |
