shiny black lacquer highlights to sky; nicely detailed carving, crisp lines. |

Very Good+++. Excellent colors. Clean front and verso. (Soft 3-inch crease upper/right corner;
light toning; few minor marks; light wear.) Tiny red "collector's seal" verso. |

Comments |
A beautifully illuminated and evocative night scene. A classic "shin hanga" print of the 1930 Toledo
Exhibition and among the finest images of the period. (Lacks "first edition verso seal"--but early.)
Very rarely available. |
