	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: This is a gorgeous woodblock print by Mori Masamoto (I.d. courtesy of marco49; thanks, Marc!). It is a very rare image, published by Baba Nobuhiko, who published a few Koitsu images in the 1930s. It bears the seals of the publisher in the lower lefthand margin; the publisher went out of business in before WWII, so this is an original early impression. The print measures about 14 1/4 x 9 1/2 plus margins. Signed and sealed lower left. It is nicely matted and framed, and it appears to be in very nice condition, although I haven't opened the frame to examine the print;
