(groans) Oh thank you, [livejournal.com profile] samsarapine, thank you very much. The last thing I needed to know was that some collector's estate is selling his woodblock prints on eBay for heart-rendingly low prices, if they're as authentic as claimed (and they seem to be.) Dealers do jack prices up, she says-- I've seen posthumous Hasuis go for more than the originals offered here.

That said, it's not a Hasui I'd buy if I had the money, but a Shotei, whom I'd never even heard of before.

And the stars, on enlargement, turn out to be of the 'twinkle twinkle little' variety. Oh me-- all these rivals of Kawase Hasui I never knew about. So many shinhanga-ka, so little cash...
