Enlarged picture

Abalones (Haliotis tuberculata, Wabi or Tokobushi) and a half-beak (Hemirhamphus sayori, Sayori), beside a peach blossom branch. Poems by Kumogaki Fujimi and Miwagaki Mimiki.

Very nice impression, perfect and fresh colours. Early state, before the publisher and Kiwame seals. Weak vertical centrefold, a few creases, two minimal pinholes, a small hole at lower margin, neatly restored. At the back side's lower left corner a red, oval collector's seal. All in all, the very rare print in a very nice condition.
