Japanese Woodblock Print, c. 1930s this later printing from the original woodblocks by Watanabe Color Print Co.

SIZE IN INCHES: yatsugiri-ban, 3.875 x 6 inches

COMMENTS: The shin hanga publisher Watanabe produced small prints in three differnt formats: octavo, postcard and koban. Collectively they are referred to as Hasui's postcard prints. They were marketed first in Watanabe's 1931 sales catalog. All of the postcard sized prints were unsigned and carry only the Hasui 9 or 10 seals (as found in Appendix III of Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints.) Generally they do not bear the Watanabe seal.

Fine, no flaws
