Description
This image is not a woodblock print — it's a Japanese First Day Cover (FDC) for a postage stamp set: a cachet illustration (hiker ascending a snowy slope, blue monochrome) at left, four mountain-themed stamps arranged 2×2 at right, overstamped with a red circular postmark, and "NATIONAL PARK 中部山岳" printed at top left.
This doesn't match the supplied facts (Kawase Hasui woodblock print). Writing a print catalog description for it would misrepresent a stamp cover as a Hasui woodblock. Given this session is on content-recovery-phase5 — likely exactly the kind of image/metadata mismatch that pipeline is meant to catch — flagging rather than fabricating a description.
How do you want to handle this: skip/flag this record as a mismatch, or do you have a different source image for this title?
