Shotei, Takahashi (1871 - 1945), "Sawatari, Jyosyu in Snow (Pre-Earthquake)"

Notes: Exceedingly rare pre-quake design in near mint state. This early 1916 edition has a more painterly effect, compared to the flatness of the post-quake impression.

There are numerous changes in the design from the pre/post-quake examples, including the shape of the hillside, footprints in the snow, placement of the crows in the sky, and falling snow (gofun was only added in the first edition).
