Subject:Woodblock Print? of a vine. Japanese or Chinese?
Posted By: Dan Sat, Dec 16, 2017 IP: 72.132.188.189

I believe this is a print although it has paint which is thick, almost like gouache. It is numbered so probably part of a folio or book on plants. I am looking for any information on it, I especially want to know if it is Japanese or Chinese and what is written in the corners. Thanks

Thank you very much for the information.
I have one other print from this series. It looks like it is by a different artist but not certain.
