Condition
Executed on white wove paper, laid down on Japan paper. A close inspection reveals that there are two small tears in the lower left corner and a small nick to the edge of the sheet along the lower left edge. Otherwise, apart from some light time-staining and a few faint spots of foxing towards the lower edge and the upper right corner, this work is in very good condition.
