Notes: The top margin is not trimmed, but is a product of the handmade, hosho sheet - it is deckled along the entire edge.
Scarce in this condition.
First edition prints from the late 1930's and 1940's are seldom seen due to paper rationing at that time, and the fact that Watanabe had a dwindling number of foreign customers. As a result, he printed fewer examples. |
