A third impression of the Iwasaki garden panorama (大泉水の全景), documenting another stage in the print run for this design. In shin-hanga production, blocks were typically shared between artist, publisher, and carver across multiple editions; later printings sometimes show softening of fine lines and shifts in color fidelity as blocks aged. This impression of the Kyu-Iwasaki-tei garden composition offers a reference point for comparing tonal range and printing quality against earlier and later states. The central motif remains the broad reflective pond flanked by cultivated planting, rendered in Hasui's meisho-e mode — a known pleasure garden transformed through careful observation of light into a meditative landscape study.
