Color woodcut on tan Japan paper, 1893-94. 205x357 mm; 8 1/8x13 7/8 inches, wide margins. Edition of approximately only 20-30, an early impression adhered to card stock, as common with the 1893-94 printings, before the Roy edition.

Lifetime color impressions of this subject in the Albertina, Vienna and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston are also adhered to card stock. A superb, evenly-printed and dark impression with the yellowish green in the sky distinct; extremely scarce in this state. Kornfeld 22.
