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:A group of strangers brought together on the Onmaya ferry gaze towards the distant silhouette of Mount Fuji, its shadowy cone rendered entirely in blue. A man at the prow huddles with his face beneath his straw hat, while another languidly dips his hand towel in the water. Most passengers have their backs turned to us, enjoying the expansive view of the Ryogoku Bridge – lit. ‘Two Countries' Bridge – arching dramatically over the Sumida River.
The ferry takes its name from Onmayagashi [lit. stable embankment], a reference to the government stables that once stood on the west bank of the Sumida River at Miyoshi-cho. Here, the boat departs from Ishiwari-cho in Honjo on the opposite, east bank.¹
