| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This fantastic Japanese woodcut print is by master wood block artist Kawase Hasui. It depicts a river and some mountains at twilight. It is approx. 9 x 13 inches (aiban) and in very good condition. It was published by Watanabe and has the round 6mm seal in the corner. I was just informed by another eBayer that this print dates to 1947. It is entitled Evening at Minano, Chichubu and is pictured as print #477 in the Hasui catalog.
