Woodblock prints, known as ukiyo-e, are a quintessential element of Japanese art, reflecting a technique perfected over centuries. The natural features of this print, such as the ink bleed on the reverse side and the unfinished edges of the paper, are inherent to its creation process and should be viewed as hallmarks of the traditional woodblock technique, not flaws. These characteristics embody the authentic touch of the artist and the print's journey from concept to completion.

Accompanying this print is its original nenpyo or koyomi, a traditional Japanese calendar card which serves as a certificate of the print's creation date. The inclusion of this nenpyo not only authenticates the print but also provides a tangible connection to the day it was crafted, making it a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
