Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading throughout; "gauffrage" to edges of waves; over-splashed "gofun" pigment highlights as sea-foam; highly detailed carving, crisp lines. |

Excellent. Clean backside. Original margins. (No flaws noted.) |

| Comments |
Beautiful "kacho-e" image (similar to Koson's "Gulls" image). A rare, pre-War image.
