	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Hasui Kawase oban,1930 "Evening at Itako Size: 12 x 16 Color: Blues,blacks Condition: Fair to Good condition. This Japanese wooodblock print has been in my family since 1958. My parents purchased this in the "ginza" at Fukuoka, Japan during my fathers tour of duty with the Air Force. He and my mother often took trips to the ginza to look for "treasures". This one has traveled all around the world with them. The print has clear publisher markings the Shobisha's "red tilted seal" on reverse with good bleed thru on back. It is matted with paper and sticked with Unsodo Co. Teramachi Nijyo, Koyota, Japan. After many hours of research have discovered this print was sold by Unsodo during this time period. It is also stamped on front with 054. Historians do not seem to know why, but perhaps some type of "limited edition". Beautiful example of "shin hanga" Japanese woodblock print. Original water color was done by Kawasi in 1930. This was a later edition print from the mid 1950's.
