The size of this woodblock print is 19 1/4x 16 1/4 inches, which is MUCH LARGER than the traditional woodblock prints. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers.  This woodblock print is not attached any backing paper or cardboard and Ink bleeding can be seen through the back of the original Japanese mulberry Washi paper.  All four borders are intact.  The artist’s signature and his chop mark are at the upper right corner of the print while the carver and printer’s chop marks and another artist’s chop mark are at the lower left border.  The PENCIL WRITTEN LIMITED-NUMBER (105/200) is in the bottom border.  This woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  Original Shimura Tatsumi’s Bijin-ga woodblock prints are not often found in the public nowadays.  This original woodblock print is definitely an incredible piece for collecting.  Texas residents need to pay 8.25% tax.  Shipping is $16 dollars anywhere in US via USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking.  International shipping charges are US$20 through airmail WITHOUT insurance, buyers will have to assume all the risks during the mailing.  We do combined shipping.  If more than one item is purchased at the same time, the highest shipping cost will be charged.
