Description:
From his estate comes this very rare woodblock by Hasui which is numbered 84/100. Out of the first edition of this woodblock Hasui took the first 100, stamped and signed on the back and numbered them. The print is breath taking, no amont of photography does it justice. Measures 10 3/4 by 15 1/2. You can even see inside the temple is a big red lantern. So crisp and clear with NO condition problems. Bright colors on of Hasui's best. The reserve is equal to it's rarity and condition. The paper is whiter than my scans show. Obviously this print will not come again.
