    The Night Scene Series: 'A Lighthouse' #1249 It depicts a mysterious night scene with a lighthouse and several boats. The lighthouse provides the only light casting an evening glow over the water and its coastline. The entire print is basked in a midnight blue color. This print was published by Hasegawa-Nishinomiya, c1910-20's. It is an early edition on thick paper, which did not have any seals. It measures 10" x 7.25". It is in very good condition with just slight toning, and a small 5/8" tear on the lower right side just where the water line meets the shore in the right most edge of the image. This print comes from a collection in Connecticut, with many of this series having handwritten Christmas greetings, dated 1925, including this one. These were stored in an album for nearly 100 years. The Night Scenes series of twenty-one chuban prints illustrates evening views evocative of traditional Japan in a limited palette of sepia or blue originally issued in the 1910s, although Nishinomiya seems to have continued to produce the simple nocturnes in the same format into the 1920s. The collaborative series included the work of Koho Shoda (1871-1946), Yoshimune Arai (1873-1945), Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915), Suzuki Gyosui (1898-?) and Kobayashi Eijiro (1870-1946). Suzuki was certainly the youngest in the group. He studied under Ito Shinsui, and would have been in his early 20s. A 1920s catalogue issued by Hasegawa-Nishinomiya illustrates each of the twenty-one designs with titles.
