Mt Zao — 観光地百選 蔵王山

Description

This image is not a woodblock print — it's a First Day Cover (a commemorative postal envelope): a blue-line illustration of two skiers descending a pine-lined slope with mountains behind, two affixed postage stamps (sepia-toned, depicting a mountain/tree landscape) each struck with a circular postmark, a red circular cancellation chop below them, and red script reading "Sightseeing Spot Ser." and "First Day of Issue."

I can't write a Hasui woodblock-print catalog description from this — the image doesn't depict one. This looks like a contradiction case for your vision-verify pipeline (metadata says Kawase Hasui woodblock print of Mt. Zao, but the image is a philatelic FDC, likely for a related commemorative stamp). Want me to flag this slug for the contradiction list instead of producing a description?
