This print has the rare seal of Tokyo Hanga-In, Baba Nobuhiko's publishing house. Definitely pre-war. |

I have been researching these Japanese woodblocks prints for several weeks…have owned them for about 20ys. Not knowing what they were. I have scanned them, although, they may not be acceptable. ( I am new at digital camera taking!) If they are useful to you, I am happy! Let me know if I can "re-do" them so that you can see them more clearly. Regards, Rosalie Miceli
