In Reply to: Inexpensive Japanese prints posted by eph on January 02, 1999 at 01:52:32:
: I have started to purchase prints from the on-line auctions, the reputable ones. I think some of the prices are good. I'm aldo interested in finding a place where i can get some even better bargins. I've visited Japan this summer and the places i went to were very expensive; the modern prints were almost as expensive as the one hundred year old prints I can buy on on-line auctions. Can someone give me some advise where i may find a bargin; I don't think I'll be going to Japan again too soon, I live on the east coast of the U. S. Thanks.
