Description

This 1932 oban print — the same subject and year as the primary Snake Charmers (Hebizukai) composition — may represent an alternative color state, a pencil-signed proof impression, or a variant printing. The dual signatures "in pencil and in brush" indicate this is a presentation-quality impression, with the brush inscription in Japanese and the pencil signature in Western script, a convention Yoshida used to authenticate prints for Western collectors during his international commercial operation.
