| Notes (1st edition) | Artist Torii Kotondo Title Make Up Medium Original, Limited Edition Woodblock Print Series Title Bijin-e (Beauties) Date 1929 Publisher Sakai/Kawaguchi Edition of 200. The highest edition number I have confirmed to date is #132. It is statistically unusual to have not seen even a single edition between 150 and 200, despite numerous examples of editions up to 132, so I suspect the full edition was not sold. I have not seen a single example of a print from the "domestic edition", so I suspect a domestic edition was not published. Reference No Female Image, # 167 & Cover Size 18 x 11-1/4 Re-issued in the series "Twelve Aspects of Women" circa August 23, 1988. Ohmi Gallery has a copy of a very rare trial print with different colour palette and carving. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
