"Mankamerou" is a very famous and long-established store restaurant having the history of establishment of a business 280 years. Noren cloth says " Mankamerou" (store name) From my own private collection comes this very early work, We believe never before offered to outside Japan. Ca: 1973. Pristine condition, never framed. Hand signed in pencil,  hand titled in Japanese in the bottom margin, and hand numbered limited edition  343/500 by the artist.  With artist official red seal.  Now almost impossible to find his old prints.  Large size: Width is 18 and 1/2 inches and height is 13 and 3/4 inches.  Please note size is a little larger that his later prints. Nishijima started offering prints in 1973; this is the sixth subject he produced. Sorry but we have only this one rare copy to offer.

Wonderful details with strong excellent bold colors and strong ink bleed through. There are some minor foxing on the margin and some ink smudges into margin which is very typical this artist.  Please see pictures carefully. Genuine handmade Japanese woodblock print.  This is 500 sheet limited edition by Katsuyuki Nishijima who was born 1945 in Yamaguchi, Japan.
