Condition Grade and Condition Report:
Grade: B+, conservation-backed on Japanese paper.
Some old dirt staining mainly along folds, and a little wear on folds. Acquired already professionally backed on very thin Japanese paper, but not onto linen as well. It also looks much brighter than it does in the photo - the camera does make light areas darker sometimes. More detailed photos are available on request if required.
