    I read wood block, but not Japanese. Any help with the signature and or writing would be appreciated. I think the brown dots might be the original glue, unfortunately. I found this in a modern dollar store frame in the local Ill Will.

    I think this is a modern printing. The coloring is singularly lacking in subtlety and finesse.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    In which case, the brown spots are supposed to be there................?

    Click on the other photos at the bottom of the linked page and you get copies of the same print in other collections, so you can compare and see the differences.

    Thanks. I've been digging around. I don't know an awful lot about wood block, just enough to know I'm not crazy enough to try doing it myself!
