Description : Ross: Note the large round Watanabe publisher seal, indicating a pre-earthquake strike. I purchased this print at an estate sale. If my research is correct, it is by Ito Sozan, born 1884. The print measures 9.25 inches by 7.0 inches. It is framed in a red and black wood frame. The outside dimensions are 13.25 inches by 9.50 inches. On the back is a sticker that reads: "Artistic Picture Framing The Satisfactory Way Broadway Department Store, Inc. Los Angeles, Cal No. 10144 " I have not opened the back. It was probably purchased years ago in Los Angeles at the Broadway Department Store. The number written on the sticker, "10144" is also written on the back of the wood frame. The condition of the print appears to be just as it was originally -- there are no creases, marks, or defect of any kind.
