・There is a 6mm Watanabe mark. If it has the same seal, it is generally considered to be a print from the early Showa period. This is an authentic hand-printed woodblock print.

-The publisher is Watanabe Woodblock, a long-established print shop in Tokyo's Ginza, which is famous for producing prints in collaboration with Shinsui Ito and Hasui Kawase.

・This is the only one that is personally owned. Since I thoroughly enjoyed it, I would like to pass it on to a collector.

- Print size = height 38.5cm x width 26cm. Approximate size.
 
・Print condition: There are signs of aging and sticker removal marks. Perhaps because the washi paper is thick, it doesn't affect the surface that much, so personally I was able to appreciate the art without any problems. Considering its age, it is in generally average condition.
