The print bears the rhombic publisher's address label au verso, and the round publisher's seal at the lower right margin, usually found on prints published by Watanabe before the 1923 Kanto earthquake when almost all printng blocks were destroyed. That is why no second edition of this design exists and existing impressions are very rare.
