The original owner's daughter had kept numerous prints safely stored for more than 75 years. Wonderful condition. Very rare piece.

Mori Testsuzan, a highly talented and quirky artist with a penchant for animals, was adopted by his uncle, the celebrated painter Mori Sosen. He was one of Okyo’s ten best pupils, and moved to Edo from Kyoto taking the Maruyama style to the Kanto region.

Some photos are taken with the artwork out of the frame to show condition and authenticity. The frame is new and disposable, only meant to protect the art.
