| 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 LIFETIME edition Japanese woodcut print by the master artist Kawase Hasui. It was published by Watanabe and has a VERY RARE gift seal in the bottom left hand corner. It was published in 1937 and I believe it to be a first edition, as I have only seen this print with the gift seal. It is in excellent condition with beautiful color and Oban size, approx. 10 x 15 inches. This may have been a special comission as it is a very rare example of his work.
