	Notes (first edition)?:	Untitled, and understandably so, given Mount Fuji and the torii gate at Miyajima are not located near each other. I assume this is a tourist-oriented scene by Hasui.
	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Thanks to Gary for this entry. Here is a Chuban size Hasui print. It was tipped to a page removed from a book (I was able to easily detach it from the page). The back of the print has a Made in Japan stamp on it, so pre-war. I am unable to find any other examples of the print. I hope you can use it for the database.
