HIS ART HAS SOLD INTERNATIONALLY AT THE MAJOR AUCTION HOUSES: BUTTERFIELD & BUTTERFIELD, SOTHEBY'S AND ELDED'S. HE ALSO LIVED IN PARIS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE - IT IS NOT A PRINT, ITS THE REAL DEAL! THE DETAIL IS OVER THE TOP. PAINTED ON PAPER. SIGNED M. KAWAKUBO IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. NOT DATED, BUT FROM THE AGE OF THE PAPER, I WOULD PLACE THIS ITS AGE TO THE EARLY PART OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY. THIS IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO DAMAGE, NO PROBLEMS.
