Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Thursday, 31 August 2006 RARE HASUI Pre-earthquake Woodblock Print #1 1921 You are bidding on a rare pre-earthquake woodblock print by Hasui, one of two that I am offering today on ebay, titled Aikawa-cho, Sado from the Souvenirs of Travel, second series and dated 1921. It has wonderful color and is in excellent condition. The print might have been trimmed every so slightly on the right margin judging from the slightly uneven edge and pencil writing on the backside.
