Description
An owl sits on a branch up in the trees and is described by the title as staring happily. The print was made by Fu Takenaka in an edition of only 27 numbered prints. There are also a number of A.P. prints, so the actual number of prints with this design is a bit higher then 27. The print is in good condition, but please be aware that the paper is not flat but has some large wrinkles. One of the pictures shows the print sideways, so there the wave-like wrinkles can be seen. Beyond that, there is also a printing imperfection with some of the yellow ink used for the beak also applied a little outside of it.
Condition notes
The print is in very good condition. The paper is slightly wavy, as is the case for all impressions of this print we have had.
