| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
very nice watercolor oo the sunset on a harbor full of fishing boats at the foot of Mount Fujiama. Signed in the lower left corner Satsuta. Painting measures about 13 1/2" by 10" in a 17" by 15" frame. Old sticker on the back has a pre WWII look to me, but could be as late as the 1950s. Wonderful, soft colors - it has a very warm feel to it. Excellent condition. |

| Artist Bio: |
Nicole Swain provided this important information on the artist we have long known as "Satsuta": "I have been given these watercolours from my Grandfather. Until a few years ago they were hidden in his draws. I understand they were given to him by the daughter of the Caretaker from one of the Embassies in Hong Kong during World War 2. She was the artist". Included in Nicole's email were images of two Satsuta watercolours with the name "Emiko Satsuta" in both Japanese and English written clearly on the versos! What a wonderful discovery.
