Description

A Japanese woodblock print depicting flowering plum branches with white blossoms and pink buds against a light ground. The print features a prominent vertical text column on the left side, including the characters ‘豊俊’ (Toyoshun/Hoshun) at the top, and a red square seal below. The reverse side exhibits faint vertical text, which appears to read ‘明治廿五年’ (Meiji 25th Year), indicating a production date of 1892.


Condition report:

The paper shows significant age-toning and discoloration. Visible creases, minor tears, and undulations are present, particularly along the irregular and frayed top and left edges. The colors appear somewhat faded.
