| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This Japanese woodcut print is by Kawase Hasui and published by Watanabe. It depicts a beautiful night rain scene. There is a geisha in the distance. It is a full sheet with full margins, approx. 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. I believe that this is a very early state, perhaps the first state for this print, but I am not positive. The print is in good condition with wonderful color.
This print (along with 9 others that I am offering) came out of a wonderful estate full of beautiful Japanese objects. The original owners had lived in Japan from the 1930's.
