…… This colorful antique Japanese Woodblock Print is a Japanese fiber mat and 14 ½” by 19” frame with hand painted Japanese characters. This frame is also antique and in perfect condition. I’m sure I was the first to remove this antique Block Print from the frame. I know it is important to see the condition of antique Japanese Woodblock. I was disappointed to see that it is laid down on a piece of cardboard. The measurements of just the print is 24.5cm by 36.5cm (9 ¾” by 14 3/8”.) … There is No reserve on this 19th century Woodblock Print and it is listed without any reserve. … Please check back, every once in a while. I am always looking for antique Japanese items to list on eBay without any reserve.
