	Notes (first edition)?:	Attributed to Mori Masamoto, but given Masamoto usually signed his postcards with two characters 正元, not one, and given the style of postcards signed with the single character 正 vary from those signed with two characters, it is certainly possible this scene was drawn/sketched by a new, unknown, artist.
	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Japanese Woodblock Snow Scene Zojo Temple Woman with Umbrella 3.75" by 5.75" Listed here is as a smaller Japanese woodblock print featuring a snow scene and a woman walking with an umbrella around a bright red temple. Doing a search online I see several similar prints by various artists with titles as "Snow at Zojoji Temple" or "Zojoji in Snow." I could not find the exact print or artist though this print is signed and has a red seal. The colors on the print are bright and the ink bleeds through paper slightly. The artist signature and red seal are visible on the bottom left of the print. The print measures 5.75" by 3.75". Condition of the print is good though the corners do look bumped. I find no creases, tears or soiling.
