What does this mean?

This is a vintage 20th century printed image with hand embellishment from Japan. The warrior is a Japanese Samurai in armour. Washi paper is a traditional Japanese form of hand made paper produced using natural fibers from the mulberry bush, mitsumata shrub and gampi tree. The print technique used on this is similar to traditional Japanese woodblocks. The estimate is based on actual past recorded auctions of comparables.
