Subject:Utamaro, original?
Posted By: maria Sun, Nov 19, 2017 IP: 213.65.48.31 Hi, I wonder how to see if this is an original or not? It's Utamaro, but what should I look for to understand the difference? You can see fibers in the paper and there is a glitter in the gray background. Wondering / maria |

Posted By: Guy Mon, Nov 20, 2017 This is a modern reproduction of a print from the series 'Fujin tewaza jûnikô' (Twelve types of women's handicraft) published by Wakasaya Yoichi c. 1798-99. The girl here is a hairdresser. |
