Very Fine. Wonderfully executed "bokashi" shading; extensive "gauffrage" (embossing) to
cherry blossoms; nicely detailed carving, crisp lines. |

Nearly Excellent. Excellent colors. Clean front and verso. (Light toning; few tiny marks; very slight wear.) |

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. |
