- The print is signed with the shortened signature Teruhide Kato used very late in his life due to illness. For a short while after he passed away, his wife signed the prints with a similar signature however, so even though the print can be dated to aroud 2015, it is unclear if it is a lifetime edition or a very early posthumous one.

Description
An umbrella has been left outside to dry, as seen through a window. Teruhide Kato saw these umbrellas as the flowers of Gion, Kyoto. As editions signed by Teruhide Kato or by his widow are much rarer, the current print has a higher price then posthumous editions. For those looking to buy, choosing a posthumous edition in stead could be considered then.
Condition notes
The print is in excellent condition. There is a small red marker on the back.
