Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet has darkened slightly with age. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges, resulting in some slight creasing. Along the left edge, there is a 2 inch long repaired tear, and the bottom left corner also has a repaired tear. The whole reverse of the sheet is lined with rice paper, which serves as an agent to flatten scattered creases. Unframed.
