Eisho Narazaki’s Interior of Asakusa Temple
by Zia ~ July 28th, 2006. Filed under: Art.Another eBay purchase.
The watanabe “sausage seal” on the right hand margin dates it to between 1929 and 1942. I haven’t seen any other prints online with the bottom set of characters on the left hand margin(as below). As far as I can tell, using the wonderful Shin Hanga Date Translation, it reads, “Made 17 March, 1933.” The print was originally created in 1932. I could be reading this wrong, but if anyone out there is more knowledgeable than I am (not hard), could you verify the date? Also, does anyone have any idea what the top set of characters is? HELP!!!
