Medium/Technique: Woodblock print. Edition of 350 Note: Carver Maeda. Printer Komatsu. Edition number in Japanese stamped on the back for pre-war strikes. Width Item: 16.1 inches = 41.0 cm Height Item: 11.2 inches = 28.5 cm Literature: Brown, Kendall; Amy Reigle Newland, "Kawase Hasui; The Complete Woodblock Prints", Amsterdam, Hotei Publishing, KIT Publishers, 2003, ISBN: 9074822460, - P. 395, pl.213 I have not seen an edition with Sakai Kawaguchi seals, suggesting this was first published by Kawaguchi. This fits with other evidence (i.e. Torii Kotondo editions) that suggests Kawaguchi split from Sakai Kawaguchi around the start of 1930. | ||
