	Notes (first edition)?:	It is interesting that this print has Nishimura Hodo's signature, yet it is pencil-signed H Saito in the bottom margin. This is even further evidence that Saito Hodo is none other than Nishimura Hodo. Further evidence this that both artists have very similar styles.
	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: 竹村秀雄　木版画 『夜の田舎町』 昭和10年12月　 画寸約24×38センチ 竹村秀雄の木版画作品、『夜の田舎町』です。小江戸といった風情の街並みに小雨が降り注ぐ様が、情感たっぷりに表現されています。 脇には作品名と作家銘の他に、「昭和十年十二月」という製作時期が記載されています。古いものですので多少年代なりの風合い感はございますが、著しい褪せや焼けも無く、状態は良い方ではないかと思います。 Takemura Hideo
