There is also an oban-sized version of this print too. Not much is known about Tekiho, other than that he worked for the publisher Doi in the 1930's and produced these wonderful sumi-e (charcoal) scenes. This print originates from the deceased estate of an ex-Doi printer. Apart from the copies obtained from this source, I have not seen any other copies of this print. Artist signature and red seals at lower right. Title from Doi Hangaten catalog.
