Koitsu's cipher and his red seal, which translates to 'genuine', are present, along with the title of the print and the accompanying date of its introduction 1935. This print is a later edition, c1940s. The print size, including the margins is 16" x 11". It is in fine condition, beautifully double-matted and framed in a coordinated gold tone frame with a red wash, which matches the mats, simply gorgeous in its presentation.            P50013   $495.00
