Note: This print bears in the lower left corner a red seal, with the name Watanabe in "hiragana". It has been conjectured that this seal has been used for "yare" (misprints) that were primarily used as gifts. Watanabe states in his book that, although he has no further information about this seal, he cannot imagine that it was used for misprints as a publisher would rather use some of their "reserve" stock for gifts than any misprints. In fact this seal can be found on many Shinsui prints published by Watanabe and these were neither misprints nor gifts
