Condition
Executed on Japan nacré paper, not laid down and loosely attached to the mount at all four corners. There is a window of pale light staining surrounding the mounting and some very pale uneven discolouration to the margins of the sheet. The lower sheet edge has been trimmed, and the colours are possibly slightly attenuated. There are some minor foxing marks across the sheet and there are occasional handling creases throughout. This work is in overall good condition.
