Chuffed

I went into the recycle shop for a simple plastic tray and perhaps some replacement wine glasses where this Japanese lady immediately caught my eye. Close inspection confirmed this is a genuine woodcut print and not a simple offset-printed poster. A quick Google image search while queueing at the till told me it is indeed an Utamaro design, though the publisher's seal continues to be a mystery. It is of course what is known as a 'recut' (not an original contemporary (and thus priceless) antique print) but on the plus side it has fresh colours and came with a good frame. And having paid all of €2.50 I'm chuffed indeed!
