	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Original, limited edition Japanese woodblock print by Shuzo Ikeda (b. 1922), titled No. 96, 1956. This is a nice, early work by the artist, reminiscent of the Buddhist figures produced by Kiyoshi Saito. The artist's later works focused more on large eyed children. There is a collector's seal in the lower right corner. This print is in very good condition, except for a light horizontal crease running across the print, about 1 inch down from the top edge of the print, and two pieces of clear tape, one each at the center of the top and bottom margins. The dimensions of the print are approximately 17 ½ by 12 inches, plus full margins.
	Artist Bio:	Shuzo Ikeda was born in 1922 in Akita prefecture. In 1945 he graduated from Tokyo Higher Normal School. After a few years of teaching the artist became a member of Nihon Hanga Kyokai and other Japanese artist associations and turned to woodblock printmaking ('moku hanga') as a full-time artist. Shuzo is known for incorporating the the grain of his blocks into his woodblock print images. 1922 秋田生まれ 1945 東京高等師範学校（現筑波大）芸能化卒 1955 教職を経て上京し、木版画に専念 1957 日本版画協会展出品・受賞 1959 現代版画コンクール展・受賞 1968 ビストイア版画ビエンナーレ展 1977 日本版画協会、退会　独自の活動を始める 1983年 池田修三木版展を酒田で開く。〔主な海外の版画展〕 アメリカ･オルゴン大学展、ニューヨーク･セントジェームス教会展、シカゴ･メンストリートギャラリー展、アメリカ･西北版画展、フィラデルフィア展、シアトル展、百点の日本現代版画アメリカ巡回展、イタリー･花のビエンナーレ展その他、ポーランド、ユーゴ、マニラ、イスラエル、フランス、中国等にて。
