Bandai Asahi — 磐梯朝日

Medium:
Woodblock print

Description

This image isn't a woodblock print — it's a Japanese first-day cover (FDC): four postage stamps depicting mountain landscapes in different color tones (rose, blue, sepia, teal), arranged next to a printed envelope illustration of a thatched-roof mountain hut, with a circular cancellation postmark overlapping the stamps. There's no print reproduction here to catalog.

Given your Stage 4 vision-contradiction work on this branch, this looks like exactly the kind of image-mismatch case that sweep flags — the artwork record's image is a stamp/FDC scan, not the Hasui print itself. Do you want me to write a description of the FDC as-is, or hold off so you can route this to the mismatch queue instead?
