Hello Philippe,
Thank you for your appraisals with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a color woodblock by Takeshita Kin-u (Japanese; 1910 - 1960) titled "Flower Cart in Autumn." The print is a "dai-oban" format print in the size of about 10" x 15". The print was originally published by Uchida Bijutsu Shoshi during the 1950s. The woodblocks published by Uchida were after original painting by Takeshita.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this print and other comparable examples by Takeshita. Thank you and please take care.
