I purchased a print at an estate sale for the pure love of the print itself. Recently I came across the name of Tanaka Ryohei while searching the net for some Asian graphics. I decide to go to the living room where my print is hanging and review the signature and it certainly looked like his signature. It was printed in 1980 and it is print 9/10. I searched the net a bit, but have yet to find one like it. Its a beautiful print of a thatched roof home in the still of the night. There is alittle bit of a moon glow coming over the top of the roof line. I fell in love with it. So much so, I returned the next day to the estate sale just to purchase it - of course hoping it would still be there.
How would one go about finding out if its authentic and alittle bit of history about this particular print?
