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. |
