Fine impression and colours (mica sprinkled on the pages), very good condition: the complete ehon (bound Japanese-style) is in fine shape (see detail 1). The silk of the cover is attached to the right side of the print along the edges and to the middle in places, resulting in a surface that is not completely flat.
