Utamaro - Original or Reproduction? - artelino

[@devrarayvals5871]

Thanks very much for your videos. I have wanted to learn about japanese art especially block prints for a number of years but was frustrated by the language barrier. I will use your videos as my training.

This is helpful thanks we do have a Utamaro but we dont know if its reproduction or original

Can you help me understand... Here I learned that prints that are more worn and have less intense colors are more likely to be original vs reproductions that use newer inks. However there are some Kuniyoshi prints from your other videos that are not faded and the reds and greens are still quite vibrant.

It all depends on the effects of the elements and how it was storaged really, did the print not see much light and did thr owner store it carefully? Then an old print can still retain it's colours quite well.
