Impression |
Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading; deep, heavy "gauffrage" to snow-covered
mountains; crisply detailed lines. (Faint blue smudge below bridge; two vertical areas of lighter
pigmentation to sky; 3 equal-spaced marks to each margin.) |
Condition |
Excellent. Excellent colors. Very clean front and verso. Full original margins.
(A few scattered marks--otherwise flawless.) |

Comments |
Beautiful wintertime snowscene with deep "gauffage." A classic "shin hanga" image,
in unusually superb condition. Matsue was the bitterly cold wintertime home of Lafcadio Hearn
on Japan's northern coast. A VERY RARE print. |
