Support edit 1 Wonderful piece, clear EV for multiple articles. Hope you don't mind the edit, but that colour cast is probably due to an uncorrected scan and was obscuring a good deal of subtle colour. mikaul^talk 12:08, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Um, Ukiyo-e are almost inevitably done on yellowish paper. Your edit doesn't look bad, but it's almost certainly not accurate, at least to the colour of an aged Ukiyo-e. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ok, I've returned a little warmth to the mix (overwritten edit 1) not so much that you lose the more delicate hues but nearer what may be a more authentic tone. mikaul^talk 10:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I could support either this or the original. Both are reasonable guesses as to what's correct. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 20:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 1 per Shoemaker and Mikaul. Durova^Charge! 06:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support original IMO, original version colors are more accurate. The yellowish color is intentional as the original paper color can be seen in the snow and fog.--Jf268 (talk) 11:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
