    Description

    You're bidding on a Japanese woodblock print - a beautiful depiction of a young woman walking under a parasol in the rain - by Utamaro Kitagawa as per the signature. I think the print is probably a reproduction, but unsure of the age, and I have not been able to find a bona fide first edition example to compare it to. It has a publisher's mark similar to that of Utamaro's publisher, Tsutaya Juzabaro, and a circular mark similar to a censor's seal, but it doesn't match any of the seals that I'm familiar with.
    Some issues of condition - mainly that the print is laid down to board. Also a bit of age tinting around the edge and some spotting at bottom right corner and in one area along the left edge. Still nice bright color and good presentation and appeal. Dimensions are 9 3/4" X 15".
    Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
