Title: Gaikokujin kodomo choai no zu - Western Children Playing or A Depiction of. Foreign Child's Adorable Charm
Artist: Yoshikazu
info found on Egenolf Gallery
Measurements: 250mm x 340mm or 10 inches x 13.5 inches
Condition: This print has some signs of age and wear. There are dirt smudges and small patches of wear. It has been backed with a sheet of thin paper to reinforce it. Please look at the last photo where I have held it up to the light. Also please look at the area where the ship is in the distance. I have the original purchase letter from Fuji Arts (bought for $170 in 2016) and the Egneolf Gallery has sold one for $1,500. I hold out no such hope and will start the auction at $49.99 - Thank you for all of your attention and purchases over the last few weeks. I am coming to the end of my full-size Japanese prints but still have lots of wonderful smaller prints and oddities so please still stay tuned to my account.
Please scrutinize all photos before buying. Thank You.

Hello! I am back again! I have come across a collection of Japanese prints. Most of them were neatly kept in a print drawer and in their original purchase wrappers. (there are also some framed but I will get to those later). According to those which have labels, most were bought in New York City, London or Japan. If the print has a label, I have photographed it and written the details above. If the print doesn't have a label, I have thrown myself at the mercy of Google which I know isn't always accurate. If I have Googled, I have made that clear in the description. I am assuming if you are looking at Japanese prints on here then your knowledge vastly supercedes mine and you can tell more from the photo than from my description. I do have some knowledge with art and prints in general and can mostly successfully gauge if something is original or a reprint - though I am not strong in the field of Japanese woodblock prints, even though the paperstock and bleed can be an indicator, I am unaware if certain artists' works were published in different iterations and I wouldn't be able to ascertain which portfolio or pressing they came from. The only thing I can do is be as honest as possible about my shortcomings, tell you everything I can physically see with my eyes and be present for any questioning to help you make the decision about whether you would like to purchase or not.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The color of the actual paper and inks may differ from how they appear on eBay due to camera and screen settings, etc.
Thank you.
