His work was published by Nishinomiya Yosaku. He is best known for designing several views of Miyajima printed in blue tones. His prints are characterized by vivid colors and subtle gradations". The subject here is a night view of "ITSUKUSHIMA SHRINE at MIYAJIMA". In the background you can see a gate in the water. The waning night view (Blue sky above) shows the full moon, and two lanterns that reflect, boldly, in the deep blue water. The artist's Japanese character mark is in the lower right corner. Additional character marks on the left side, behind the matt. There are some more characters on the back of matting (see photo #14). The sticker on the back of mahogany wood backing reads "ITSUKUSHIMA SHRINE at MIYAJIMA by YUHAN ITOH .. NISHINOMIYA & HASEGAWA, INC. 17 KAMI NEGISHI, TAITO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN". The printer information is similarly shown on the bottom and back of print; behind the matt. The print is matted with silk fabric. It is a subtle green/gold color with woven floral design. The print is framed in black lacquer wood, with non-glare glass. The back of print shows bleed-through. The print is glued lightly, only on left side. The actual picture measures 9" x 14". Framed, it measures 14" x 20". If buyer chooses to receive the print without the frame and glass, we can do that, but it will be shipped flat. Condition is Excellent! No fading, tears, or any other damage, including the matting.	Artist Y. Ito.Moon light on the water. Perfect condition. Size 14.75"X9.75".	Thanks to Tim for this entry. This is a very early edition.
