Signed: Hasui, red seal Kawase
Publisher: Watanabe Shōzaburō with 6 mm Watanabe round seal on the right bottom (seal A) (N 78)
Series: Souvenirs of travel, second series - Tabi miyage dai nishu, December 1921
Fine impression, with well-preserved colours, in fine condition. The print is of great rarity, like all the works by Hasui before the earthquake of 1923, which destroyed all the woodblocks made before that date.
