The Wave, Moonrise.

Color woodcut on thin, cream laid Japan paper, 1906. 235x283 mm; 9 1/4x11 1/4 inches, full margins. Signed, dated and inscribed "no. 249" in pencil, upper left. A superb, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce color woodcut; significantly darker than the impression reproduced in Donovan, page 26, figure 17.

We have not found another impression at auction in the past 20 years. Donovan 19.
