| Title | "(Fuji From) Nagahama Beach, Mito" ("Mito Nagahama") |
| Date | 1937 (Early Watanabe "oblong" C-seal; appropriate "First Edition" seal.) |
| Series | na |
| Publisher | Watanabe Shozaburo |
| Seal, Carver/Printer | Watanabe "C" seal (used only 1929-42, and appropriate seal for First Edition) |
| Image Size | 10 x 14 7/8 ("dai-oban"--larger than most Hasui prints) |
| Impression | Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to sky, distant mountains, trees, and water; nicely visible woodgrain; astonishingly life-like reflection; light "gauffrage" (embossing) to Fuji's snowfields; finely carved details. |
| Condition | Nearly Excellent. (Single tiny spot in sky; brown spot very edge right margin; very light wear--otherwise flawless.) |
| Reference/Illus | Narazaki #286; Hotei #404. |
| Comments | Unquestionally Hasui's most evocative Fuji scene--a "ghost-like" Fuji is seen, seemingly floating in the sky. Very rarely encountered print. Appropriate seal for First Edition printing--nicely visible woodgrain. |
