Description:
Tuesday, 15 February 2005 Aaron: Picked up an interesting lot of small-format prints lately. This was from the estate of someone who lived in Japan, and likely in Yokohama, in the 1930's until at least 1940. They had bought sets of note-cards from both Watanabe and Takemura, and had received some others as correspondence. I'm pretty sure all of the prints were purchased in the '30's. There are two definite Koitsu postcards by Takemura, and they don't seem to be in your archive. These two prints also have a stamp verso similar in style to what is normally found on Nishinomiya/Hasegawa prints. It reads: Wood Block Printed H. Takemura & Co. 45 Bentendori (?) Yokohama, Japan
