Condition: Very fine, with fresh colors.
Notes:
An extremely early impression (#2/100); with original paper label inscribed and sealed by the publisher S. Watanabe. Publisher's diamond label attached to the reverse. The barren marks in the background certainly add another element of design to this highly sought after work. An important and scarce shin-hanga bijin-e image.
