Yes, with all those go-pebbles all over the ground slipping and bad falls can happen, a dangerous game indeed

I've received this print back from the framers and as usual, they've done a brilliant job.

I really like the signs of age that are displayed by the 'floating mounting'; stains and insect damage!

It’s not very old…1840s (late Edō period).

It has a nice antique look to it

It’s probably HP printing paper, stained with coffee and burnt around the edges!
