| Title | "Ochanomizu in Snow" ("Ochanomizu") |
| Date | 1926 (c1920's/30's; clearly pre-War, on "older paper") |
| Series | "Twenty Scenes of Tokyo" ("Tokyo Nijikei") 1925-30 |
| Publisher | Watanabe Shozaburo |
| Seal, Carver/Printer | Lacks publisher's seal (not uncommon, occasionally omitted). |
| Image Size | 9 3/8 x 14 1/4 |
| Impression | Very Fine. Superbly executed "bokashi" shading; heavy "gauffrage" to "raise" lower falling snowflakes; nicely detailed. |
| Condition | Very Good+++. Excellent colors. Clean front and backside. (Light age-toning; small collector's notations verso edges, slightly bumped lower right corner--otherwise flawless.) |

| Comments | Stunning--one of Hasui's most dramatic falling snow scenes. VERY seldom seen. Fine condition for this early image (with the "correct" early seal, this print would be $3000-4000). |
