	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Hi, I corresponded with you awhile back regarding watercolors in my collection by M. Matsu. Since then, I have also picked up one by S. Nimi in an consignment shop a few blocks from my home. Not bad for being in the middle of the corn fields in Bloomington, IL. Recently, I bought an oil painting by Kajiwara Kango that has an inscription on the back. I was wondering if you might know someone who could translate it for me? Images of all of these paintings are on my art collection web site at http://www.kevindaniel.250x.com/other.html.
