	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: This is the rarely-seen first edition, as indicated by the small red "first edition" seal in the right margin. Publisher seal in right margin and dated in the bottom margin. This print is signed "M. Hiyoshi" and has the stylized Mamoru seal at the lower left of image. Printed by Hayakawa. Carved by Matsuda. Hiyoshi was born in Tokyo, studied art with Okada Saburosuke and graduated from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. In the early 1950's, he designed brightly colored woodblock prints of Korean people and their customs (this print included). See other Hiyoshi prints in my personal collection here
