a probably unique impression of the first state of this RARE etching which was later published as plate 10 in the portfolio Reise nach Japan (Journey to Japan) in 1920; the finished state had added aquatint whereas this impression is pure etching

a fine impression on off-white card which appears to have been cut from a furniture catalogue, this remarkable little etching has a delightful delicacy of tone
