Koho Shoda – Canal by the Moonlight

Original woodblock print. The first edition of this design was published between 1910 and 1930. The current print was printed in the Showa period (1926 – 1989).

Image size (excluding margins): 28.8 * 18.9 cm (11.3 * 7.4 in).

The print is in very good state, but not all woodblocks must have been aligned completely correctly during printing. In the lower right corner there is a small spot, just above the water.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.
