Fine impression and condition

Though dated 1918 I suspect that Hiratsuka printed this sheet after WWII, as the type of paper is similar to that used for other post-war prints. In my Archive of sold items you can find the same design, dated 1924. That print was printed on very thin, pre-war paper.
Hiratsuka was known for the erratic way he dated and numbered his prints.
