	Notes (first edition)?:	Warning: As of around 2012 there is a new publisher of this scene: Sakai Kokodo (酒井好古堂). It looks very similar to the Watanabe version but can be purchased in Japan for around $200. The blocks were carved by Asaka Motoharu (朝香元晴）and printed by Hishimura Toshi(菱村敏). Please be careful that you don't accidently pay an exorbitant price for such a print mistakenly thinking it is an original Watanabe-published print. Dishonest sellers are actively selling this edition on eBay and an auction in Japan.
