Impression Very Fine.
Wonderfully executed "bokashi" shading; lightly "gauffraged" (embossed) snow; "gofun" snow over-printed onto blue; very detailed carving; crisp lines. (A minor "natural paper fiber" irregularity--normal for early 1930's paper.)
Condition Excellent. Excellent colors.
Clean front and verso.
(No flaws noted.)
Reference/Illus Blair's 1936 "Toldedo Exhibition" pl. #289.
Comments A classic "shin hanga" print of the Toledo Exhibition. (Lacks "first edition verso seal"--but very early. Sato Shotaro ceased business in 1931.)
A rarely seen print.
