[Appraisal Information]
Appraised at ¥35,000 by the buyer Otarakaya. Considering the quality of the frame and the size of the artwork, we are looking for a buyer on Mercari, which may take some time.

[Condition]
- Both the artwork and mat are in good condition.
- There is some lifting of the fabric on the upper corner of the frame (see photo 6 / no impact on the artwork itself).

The certificate of authenticity from the time of purchase is not available. While we cannot guarantee authenticity, the signature, frame certificate, and 40 years of storage history are all shown in the photos. Please consider purchasing only if you are satisfied.

We welcome price negotiations, but offers below the appraised value will not be accepted. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
