Description: Road to Nikko (also known as “Nikko Kaido Line”). This is a gorgeous print with rich, deep colour – much better than the recent restrikes. There is no Watanabe publisher seal — a frequent feature of older editions (see the informative article “Missing Watanabe Seals” at Ukiyo-e Gallery). Based on the paper type, slight age toning, and printing quality, I believe this print to be a lifetime strike.
