This is a rare early print from Tomio Kinoshita, whose creation of woodblock prints spanned the years between 1955-2007.  Kinoshita pulled his prints as they were needed, so there is great variation in color within a particular edition, and often editions were never completed. Since this is number 10/50, it's hard to say how many more than ten prints might have been produced.

This particular print was featured in a 1995 exhibition at Mie Prefectural Art Museum in Japan and was published in a catalog produced from the show, which will be included with purchase. There is a thin gray paper border around the edges, some of which is missing on the lower left edge, which Kinoshita applied to a few of his prints.
