| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Guaranteed original Japanese woodblock print by the shin hanga artist Kawase Hasui. Subject: Tsushima Shrine. Date: 1948. Print bears the round 6mm Watanabe publisher seal which indicates that this is an original impression (post-war dated prints with this seal are early, original impressions). Excellent color & impression. Print has some tape residue on verso (see scan) which doesn't effect the design at all. Print measures 10.5" x 15.5".
