Dear Dr. Walker,

I'm writing to ask if you could help me to identify the artist of a Shin Hanga print that appears to be a near duplication of the Crow and Cherry Blossom print you have on your website by Keinen Imao.

Attached is the photo of the suspect print which has the same dimensions as you gave for Imao's crow print.

The print appears to be from the early part of the 20th cent.

I'd appreciate any information you can offer.

Best,
