Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked, but not in the usual way (which is an alternate form of restoration that is similar to linenbacking, but involves backing the poster onto Japanese rice paper). THIS poster HAS been mounted onto Japanese rice paper, but it appears that it was done so in preparation to having the poster linenbacked, but that (for unknown reasons) the owner of this poster did not have the job finished, so the poster has solely been mounted on thin Japanese rice paper. There also has been no restoration done to the poster (it would have been done after the poster and paper were mounted on linen). Any talented restorer could certainly go ahead and linenback this poster (either using the current rice paper, or re-backing the poster onto different rice paper first), and after proper linenbacking and restoration to the poster's defects, it will look great! But because the poster is currently mounted onto a thin rice paper, it is fragile, and of course, will need to be sent rolled in a tube (but the poster is somewhat protected by the extra 1" border of rice paper on all four sides). Please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above carefully! Condition: good to very good. The poster was mounted on a thin Japanese rice paper . It has a second vertical foldline 1/2" to 1" to the left of the regular vertical foldline. There are creases, tears, and areas of paper loss in parts of the vertical foldline and creases, smudges, pinholes, and a few tears around the edges of the poster. There is a much lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. NO RESTORATION OF ANY KIND HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS POSTER! Any talented restorer could certainly go ahead and linenback this poster (either using the current rice paper, or re-backing the poster onto different rice paper first), and after proper linenbacking and restoration to the poster's defects, it will look great! Please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above carefully! Learn More about condition grades
