Label Text:
This triptych is signed at lower-left of the left panel "Ryūa." Directly beneath the signature is the artist's seal, which reads "Edokko," a term for someone born and raised in Tokyo, which literally means "child of Edo." There are no publisher's marks on this impression. However, like some other Russo-Japanese prints in the Mead's collection, this print is numbered at lower-right of the right panel "22," in kanji.
