The work is clearly signed in black ink, «Foujita», lower right. It had its original seal on the back and had not been opened before I bought it at an estate auction here, in Picton, Ontario, Canada, February 28.2009. To verify this, I can provide a'back before'photo attachment. I had to unseal it in order to verify Its authenticity and condition. The drawing Is properly laid down on thick board And hinged on its right side.
