The artworks displayed on JAODB are not for sale

Notes (1st edition)Dated 1934 (confirmed. Month not yet confirmed). Limited edition of only 100 prints. Apparently the blocks used for this scene still exist (according to Kotondo's family). Scene number 11 among 12 Ikeda published scenes. Strangely, some appear to be marked as scene number 3, but "Tipsy", published in 1932 is undoubtedly scene number 3, and this scene "Plum Blossoms at Night" was published in 1934 (toward the end of the series) so I can't see how it can be scene number 3. This scene has two colour variants: one with a black background and one with a light grey background.
