Format: Postcard

DB Record No.: 10240

Contributor: Yahoo Auction, Japan auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp

Notes: An early shin-hanga scene of viewing hanami (cherry blossom viewing) from a boat. Attribution to Tsuchiya Koitsu cannot yet be confirmed, however, I can't think of any other artist who was active in the shin-hanga movement at this time who also had the initials K.T. The fact that Koitsu is known to have worked for Shoseido is further supporting evidence of this print's attribution.
