Seikō (1837 - 1913)

Great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopus major) on a cherry tree. Paper size: 24.6 x 23.3 cm. Published by Daikokuya ca. 1900

Euro SOLD

Fine impression, colours and condition (note the strong baren whorls on the tree-trunk!)

In a very illuminating article in Andon 76 a very strong point is made for identifying "Seikō" with Watanabe Seitei (1851-1918).
