Posted By: Steen Fri, Aug 07, 2020 Seems that the last picture do not go with the two first pictures, sorry about that. One quistion, How can I tell if this is an original print or a fake one?? I have looked at the paper, seems older, and are not smooth. I have taken the back side of, and I can see that it is glued on a cardboard.That goes for both prints. |

Posted By: Stan Sat, Aug 08, 2020 It is highly likely that these are originals. Both Chikanobu and Kunichika prints are not worth enough to make carving a new set of blocks and printing new prints profitable. |

Posted By: Steen Sun, Aug 09, 2020 Thanks again Stan and Michael. Got them at an auction paid 80 USD, think that this is ok for the two prints. |

Posted By: Stan Sun, Aug 09, 2020 They are quite faded from being hung on a wall and exposed to light making them of less interest to a collector. Note that all foliage is blue instead of green (yellow is a fugitive color). See the example below. Hang them on the wall and enjoy them. |

Posted By: Michael James Fennell Sat, Aug 08, 2020 The paper looks ok to me from the photos, but it's difficult to be absolutely sure without seeing the prints for real. |
