| Comments | A gorgeous moonlite seashore image from Kanagawa Prefecture on Japan's
northern coast. NOTE: This print bears a (seemingly) "early Watanabe Publisher's seal" in its left margin--however, is clearly printed directly from Doi Publisher's original "block-set." This print was the focus item of our 2003 Ukiyoe Gallery "Article #27." (Due to circumstances--this is truely a unique print.) |
