Hiroshi Yoshida – A Calm Day

Original woodblock print. The first edition of this design was published in 1930. The current print is from a posthumous edition.

Image size (excluding margins): 24.5 * 37.5 cm (9.6 * 14.8 in).

The print is in good state. There is mild discoloration, as can be seen at the left edge of the image where the discoloration is less at the outer edge. There are a couple of very faint spots in the sky. There are two pinholes in the upper margin and remnants of a previous mounting remain on the back.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.
