	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Friday, 9 January 2009 Ross I have a question that perhaps you could help me to answer. I have dipthych by Toyonobu Utawaga circa 1860 that shows Two samurai, Kato Toranosuke and Yamai Masatada fall down the steep of a mountain slope while fighthing each other. It is a diptych I wonder if you could help me to identify the publisher of the series and how many prints composed the series. I undertand the artist died very young and his prints are very rare. Thank you very much
