Notes (this edition)?: | The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Often written by non-experts, there may be inaccuracies: In 1957, my aunt, a grade school teacher, traveled to Japan. She brought back many items that I inherited after she passed away. I’ve had these items for over 20 years, and it’s time I pass them along to someone who can appreciate them as much as I have over the years. Be sure to check out the other Japanese auctions posted this week. Remember that all of these items are from 1957 or earlier. | |
