This is the 8th print of limited edition. The print size is 16 1/2 x 20 1/4 inches, which is much larger than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock prints.

The artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE in Kanji, his chop mark; and PENCIL WRITING OF THE NUMBER OF THE PRINT “EX NO.8” are in the bottom border of the print.
