Pristine gallery condition. Full margins; never laid down no tears, folds, creases or foxing. This print is perfect in every way.
Good bleed through to verso. Complete with HASUI signature and sui. Authenticated by the Doi Eiichi rectangular publisher's seal and double off-set carver/printer seal and watermark in upper right corner.
This incredible HASUI print depicts two bijin (beautiful women) crossing the Edo River in the snow. The stark gleaming white snow contrasts dramatically with the brilliant blue of the water and sky.
