Description: In circa 1930, the Haibara Fan Shop commissioned these twelve prints from the publisher Kato. A total of only 200 sets were published, and the original first edition prints have a numbered seal on the print verso. This second edition was commissioned by Hasui’s daughter from the publisher Tokyo Takahashi Kobo in 1988, and was also limited to only 200 sets printed from the original blocks. Each print is held in a windowed paper folder, but can be easily removed.
