There have been few solid guidelines for determining the age of a Doi print based primarily on its seals. While many collectors use the Pachter date ranges for Watanabe seals on Hasui prints, there has been no comparable Doi reference tool in widespread use. Adding to the uncertainty is a perception that Doi management may not have followed the somewhat more uniform practices which were apparently used by Watanabe.

For example, were Doi printer seals re-applied by other printers? Were Doi blocks re-used with new carver seals?

Designer: Tsuchiya Koitsu | Publisher: Doi Hanga | Date: s | Item from our It is a page accordion-fold book – every page an actual woodblock print.

This problem is common to many Doi-published prints that use green inks. A classic example of this fading can be seen here. I have seen no evidence that suggests blue foliage hues were a printing variation. Thanks to Tim for this entry. Pre-war first edition with the Tokyo Views series seal in the middle of the right margin. Unfaded greens. Someone wrote “by Hasui Kawase” on the backing of this woodblock but a kind eBayer told me that this is actually by Tsuchiya Koitsu and I did find it on the internet.

It is the Oban edition.
