Support Good restoration. Question: Is it me, or does this appear to be slightly tilted? Spencer^T♦^C 17:30, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A lot of older works have borders angles that are slightly off from true 90 degrees. So rotating to get one edge at horizontal or vertical leaves the others tilted. Cropping and rotating these things is an act of compromise. Durova^Charge! 19:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Made some time over a 150-year span (the main period over which ukiyo-e developed stylistically) by an unknown artist... there just isn't enough known about it to properly contextualize it. For me, it lacks sufficient encyclopedic value.--ragesoss (talk) 04:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Ragesoss: this just doesn't have the EV to be featured. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
