Hi Ross, The work is a pastel, not a watercolor. I can put a larger image online if you need it.I purchased it from a Texas dealer with two of the Koitsu prints on the website. There were also other Japanese prints at his place (and lots of western art too). The title comes from a piece of paper that was attached to the back of the frame. I saved the paper and two Japanese women translated it. Unfortunately the piece of paper was partially torn, and some of the information had already been lost. Regards, Jane |
