Impression Very Fine.
Light "gauffrage" (embossing) to fan, robe, and hair; strongly visible "woodgrain" to background; highly detailed carving of individual hairlines.
Condition Absolutely Pristine.
On nicely "age-mellowed" paper. (No flaws noted.)
Reference/Illus na
Comments A strikingly sensuous modern-day "bijin-ga" image--eyes closed, bared shoulders, dreamlike.
By a virtually unheard-of artist whose prints are quite RARE. (A reliable source in Tokyo tells us that "most Okada prints are found badly foxed.")
NOTE: Our source indicates edition is now "Sold out." (Stock photos--virtually identical as shown.)
