Description: This is a reproduction of a design from one of Hokusai's late print series: 'One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse', and represents the poet Ariwara no Narihira. Only a couple of dozen designs were published before the series was cancelled for some reason.

The publisher 'O-Edo Mokuhansha' began creating reproductions of this series in the immediate post-war period, but stopped after issuing four of them.

Seems to be a jinx on this particular series!


There are some dents at the bottom margin of this print.

Printer: Itakura / Carver: Harada (This is Harada Kametaro, whose carving bench was passed down to Dave many years after he died ...)
