If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.

说明:From a set of Snow, Moon and Flowers (Setsugekka), a classical aesthetic concept drawn from Chinese and Japanese poetry, in which snow, moon, and flowers – most commonly the cherry blossom – represent the transient beauty of the natural world across the three seasons of winter, autumn, and spring respectively. In this ‘Moon’ instalment, boats are being towed along the Yodogawa River which flowed through the mercantile city of Osaka. The fortified walls of Osaka Castle loom dramatically over the waterway beneath the light of a full moon.
