Slight crease flattened ever since in the left upper part of the print. Dry residue (Glue) of prior mounting on margins. Great Color, very good overall condition.

Notes: This 'Aritaya' serie is the smallest one in dimension of the 53 Stations of the tokaido. Yet, very little to no re-print were made from that serie, so you will not see many of them for sale. Also, because of the dimension, it has become one of the most affordable serie to complete. Therefore, it is a great opportunity to own an antique / original Hiroshige for a very fair price.
