Japanese prints on Ukiyo-e * type paper, probably representing mythological scenes with a fiery demon pursuing a sage in a mountain landscape on the left; right, characters (gods and demons) fighting in a temple, XIXth century.
This print is in good condition. She was framed recently, she is under glass. Inscriptions in the margins. These are probably pages of a print book (traces of inscriptions in the central margin)
A note: some traces of creases and tears especially in the bottom, some yellowing and wear, see photos
We put other Japanese prints on sale on this site.
