Tom,

See below for details to assist you in comparing the differences between your copy and an original. A careful examination will reveal that virtually every line and shape is different between the two impressions.

As for my comment regarding the color blue on your copy, I meant that the particular hue and density could not have been found in 18th century examples. It's too opaque or dense, unlike the more transparent blue pigments used during Sharaku's time.

I hope this helps you understand how to differentiate between copies and originals.

John
