<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10304229, member: 37&quot;]Does the background shimmer?&nbsp; If so, this is an example of kirazuri, which uses micaceous ink.&nbsp; While the technique goes way back, I believe that some more modern prints have added it as a way to make the prints more luxe.&nbsp; Sometimes they were offered both ways at different prices. You might compare your print to some known early examples to see if they have the shimmering background as well.&nbsp; It is not a sure-fire way of dating but you might be able to rule out having an early print.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
