| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Warning: An example of this scene with faked Watanabe B seal at lower right "rebirthed" by a notorious California "dealer". Note the keyblock damage at lower left. This damage did not appear until the Heisei editions were published by Watanabe in the 2010s. Note that the Watanabe 6mm-sealed example (printed in the 1950s) on this site does not show this damage (click on "compare all" above to see this edition). This $300 print sold for $1,900.
