Paper size 37.2 x 25.6 cm
Edition Date 1932
Description From the series Tosa sanjû ezu (土佐三十絵図) 30 Views of Tosa ) (Shikoku), self-printed between 1932 and 1935: #4 Kenchô mae (県庁前) - In front of the Prefectural Office. Paper size: 37.2 x 25.6 cm. Printed on fairly thin, long-fibred paper. It is difficult to assess if the printing was deliberately clumsy (possibly to reinforce the Sôsaku Hanga character of the print), or because he was not such a good printer.
Condition Good impression and colours, very good condition: some shallow printer's creases. Illustrated on p. 14 of Lawrence Smith: The Japanese Print since 1900, Old dreams and new visions, where he misattributed it to Sakamoto Hanjirô, a mistake Smith himself corrected in a later book.
