<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 553503, member: 2844&quot;]When it comes to an Ukiyo-e print itself you can tell by the age, the colours and the paper, all of which are wrong in this case. Genuine Ukiyo-e were printed on very thin Japanese mulberry paper, which had a specific pattern. It doesn&#039;t look like present-day paper. The detail on the originals is good, it is lacking on your prints. The rowers in your boats have become blobs.</p><p>Quality re-prints were (still are) made in Japan, but those are close to the originals colourwise. They can sell for nice prices, though not as nice as the real deal of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hokusai&#039;s Wave is a true masterpiece, as is Hiroshige&#039;s Fireworks. The Wave has been extremely popular over the last decades, so you should be able to find a buyer.</p><p>I must confess I had a Wave t-shirt in the 80s.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The non-Wave parts were printed with Japanese &#039;mons&#039;, round (family) crests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
