Nice impression and fresh colours. Printed with metal pigments (oxidized). Smoothed centrefold (as usual for Orihon album pages). At the right side a vertical crease, at lower and right margin somewhat worn and with some fingerprints. Four tiny round wormholes - not very noticable. On the lady's kimono a few minor spots, transfered from the former opposite page. At all very good condition. Rare item.
