| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a beautiful original woodblock print by noted shin hanga printmaker Bannai Kokan. The print is rarely seen on ebay: I have only run across it once or twice in several years of playing on the internet. Measures about 9 1/2 x 14 1/2 or so, plus full margins. Color and impression are excellent; condition is good very good. Bears the 6mm Watanabe seal indicating an early postwar print.
