Dear STEVE,
I believe its a reprint of Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) - 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' - From the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" - ca 1980.s - Japan. Its a first class print and well preserved. Also the later prints are interesting for buyers since it is a very popular theme. My estimation is the price you could get when this print came to auction.
I can remove the other backings if necessary
Thanks
Dear Steve,
To be sure about the ''version'' of the great wave I need to see the back.

I just added photos of the reverse side
Great I found them.
I will do some research and let you know Asap. Looks good in first glimpse.
Also I ask a second opinion to be sure with a colleague of mine.
Takes a couple of days.

Thanks
Take you time no rush
Are sure it is a Print ?
It seems to be layered and the coloring goes through to the back
This is a woodblock print.

Its not a print as you would call it like Offset print with those million dots.

I am sorry to keep bothering you about this but it does not really seem to be a wood block print.
It definitely is not smooth . If you run your hand over the picture you can feel the places where the different coloring are. I am not an authority on this but all the prints and engravings I have encountered have always been smooth or semi smooth.This is definitely Not smooth
A woodblock print is completely consistent in what you describe. You can feel the different layers of ink on the paper. Thats only logical, nothing to worry about.
