Merritt and N. Yamada. Prints by Ohno never carried title text, and as a result the woodblock print community (including both collectors as well as galleries) has often applied 'unofficial' titles to prints in a haphazard way. This print is of Rice Fields. MARKS: PRINTED BY KOYOTO-HANGA-IN1950.Sealed and signed in right corner, other marks in the left side margin. SIZE: TOTAL : 15"x 10-1/2"..IMAGE size: 14" X 9-1/2".

It has not been glued down, it has been attatched to the board with plastic holders which were part of the much later framing given the print.
