About This Print
This small print, which is untitled, uses the same design as shown in the catalogue raisonné for the print titled Series Kyoto No. 24. However this collection's print is much smaller than either the print shown the catalogue raisonné (11.6 x 16.2 cm vs. 39.5 x 54.5 cm) or the print of the same design in the collection of the Carnegie Museum of Art, pictured below. In addition, to its smaller size, the differences between the forms on the prints suggests this collection's print was overlooked when the catalogue raisonné was produced.
