The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:

I recently bought a set of 3 postcard prints, and I think 2 *may*
be by Koitsu. Only one has a title, and neither has an artist seal. I
do believe they were published by Watanabe, and quite possibly pre-war,
as the 3rd postcard in the group I bought is a known Watanabe pre-war
postcard print (Hiroshige, Snowfall at the Gion Shrine…not nearly so
interesting) AND they all have exactly the same mounting, mounting card,
etc. In other words, all three postcards were treated exactly the same
way and appear to be the same age. I'd really like to get your opinion
on these two prints.
