| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | 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; |
