The size of the woodblock only is 22 inches high by about 6 inches across. The total paper size comes to 24 3/4 inches by about 9 1/4 inches. The woodblock is signed by the artist in the lower right, it is numbered 166 / 200 in the lower left. The woodblock is printed on Junichiro Sekino water marked paper and has a partial water mark in the lower left. As for condition the piece has some older tape on the back of the paper in the upper right and left corners. The major problem with the woodblock is that is is very water stained on the back in the bottom of the print. The back of the piece has a light brown water stain from when the old brown cardboard that this piece was originally framed in became wet some time ago. The good news is that the staining on the back is not as noticeable on the front as it is on the back. The water stain mainly runs through the black color of the woodblock so it is covered up. You can see some light brown staining in the margins along the bottom. There is also some slight paper wrinkling from the previously wet paper in the bottom center margin. A lot of this light staining and wrinkling would be covered once the piece was matted and if you are a paper restorer you could probably easily clean the work as the paper is quite thick.
