Lifetime edition Japanese shin hanga woodblock print titled "Yumoto Spa, Nikko" by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) dated in the left margin Showa 12 (1937). The artist's black ink signature and red seal are at the right edge of the image. Post-WWII edition bearing the round 6mm Watanabe publisher's seal at the lower right corner. Paper: 15 1/8" x 10 5/16" (image: 14 1/4" x 9 1/2"). Good overall condition. There is a fade line evident across the top of the image. The back is clean, but the front margins have adhesive stains or residue and the margins are thinned in areas. One thinned area extends down into the image at the upper right and the Watanabe seal is rubbed. Very faint staining is visible in the image. The paper is faintly wrinkled. This image is color illustrated as plate 411 in Volume 2 of "Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints" by Kendall H. Brown, Hotei Publishing, 2003.
