Other Notes:
This was a busy year. Yoshida completed 41 prints, the most ever. Refenence: Abe Catalogue #31, Blair #235 (Toledo 1930). The "jizuri" seal on Yoshida Hiroshi prints is the notation he used to signify that the block was carved and printed under his supervision and met his quality requirement. It is only used on lifetime prints.    
Condition:
Very good condition. Small kento mark printing smudges in the bottom left corner at the margin. Slightly warm age tone to the paper. Not matted or mounted/
