Page,

Yes, special precautions are needed, especially if your Munakata is an original print. We have had quite a number of conversations and "debates" on the topic of framing (whether to frame prints, how to frame them if you must, how and where to display them, etc.), so you might want to use the search engine on this website to look for these various postings. There are important issues to consider in regard to archival materials, fading of pigments, and so on. In addition, check out the following pages at the American Institute of Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works:
