Comments This is the post-earthquake variant of the classic Shotei image. We believe that this print is quite rare--and interestingly, so much so that Marc Kahn's Shotei.com image is, in fact, taken from the "New Wave" book's image. (Compare prints #M-15 and #M-16 illustrated at Shotei.com website.)
