Condition and state of the print:
The Japanese print is in good, well-preserved condition. The paper is still firm and feels sturdy. A slight central fold is visible, but it does not appear to have seriously affected the quality of the paper. The colors are still clear and vivid, retaining much of their original appearance. No major damage has been reported. All in all, this is a beautifully preserved Japanese print with an appealing appearance. There is a small discoloration near the top of the mountain (see photo).

Meiji period:
The Meiji period (1868–1912) was an important era during which Japan changed and modernized rapidly. This also influenced Japanese woodblock prints. The traditional printmaking technique continued, but artists increasingly began using new subjects, styles, and techniques. Western influences also emerged, for example in the use of perspective, color, and realistic details. As a result, woodblock prints from this period beautifully illustrate how old Japanese traditions were combined with new, modern developments. This makes Meiji prints particularly interesting examples of the transition from traditional to modern Japan.
