Koho Shoda – Woman on a Beach by Moonlight

Japanese woodblock print. The first edition of this design was published circa 1920. The current print was printed in the Showa period (1926 – 1989).

Image size (excluding margins): 22.5 * 35.5 cm (8.9 * 14.0 in).

The print is in very good state. There are two small irregularities in the paper below the rocks, and a few tints of misplaced red ink near the seal in the lower right corner.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.
