Hi,
Recently was given a gift of what appears to be a japanese wood cut. It is of a woman sitting on a bench reading a scroll. there is a large block/flag design and "ribbon" type of design in the upper right-hand side of the print. The bottom right-hand side has two designs (artist stamps ?) and some writing to the left side of that.
All I know is that it came with a little slip of paper identifying (?) it as Ukiyoe by Utamaro.
Can anyone give some help on identifying this/is it something important that I should take care in having framed in some special way?
thanks in advance for anyone who can help
