About This Print

Very good condition, toning from age. Very thin margins. The print is currently framed with archival matting and museum-quality glass.

From The Collector

My second Shotei print, discovered after I became obsessed with the first print of his that I purchased. The age of the piece drew me to it, as the blocks to create the print were destroyed in the 1923 Kanto earthquake, making this the oldest piece in my collection. Plus, it had boats, and apparently boats started becoming a thing for me in many of my prints.

Provenance

Purchased from Era Woodblock Prints, Toronto, Ontario.
