	Notes (this edition)?:	The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies: I recently purchased numerous works of art from an estate of a lady who was a world traveler. Her art was mostly oriental, Japanese in particular. Several of her block prints were by the noted Shin-Hanga artist, Kawase Hasui, 1883-1957. They were mounted in bamboo frames. I do not have any reference books on this artist, to name the wood block, so I will call it " Ducks on a Pond". All the items I purchased were from 1920 to about 1950, so I estimate this item to fall in the same age period, as Japanese characters are unknown to me. The Oban size is 14 3/8 by 9 1/2 inches. The colors are brilliant and the bleed through is great. Condition is excellent.
