Subject: ltd. ed. reprint of Hiroshige's "53 Stations of the Tokaido Road"
Posted By: Roger L Gelpey Mon, Apr 12, 2021 IP: 74.104.178.71 I am hoping that someone here can shed some light on a set of reproduction prints (litho) referenced above. I didn't have any illusions about any great value but would appreciate it if someone could translate the label inside the box. Another detail that I am curious about is what looks like the edition/printing date on the label, am I reading it correctly at Dec. 21, 2002? |

Posted By: J. Boussinesq Thu, Apr 15, 2021 The set is number 317, but I didn't see an edition size. It just says limited production number (限定作製番号) above the 317. |

Posted By: Roger L Gelpey Fri, Apr 16, 2021 Thanks again for the help! I took a loupe to one of the prints and they are indeed machine offset lithographs albeit high quality ones. I can find no additional info on this edition but found that the publishers have done many pricey (well into the thousands) limited books throughout the years. |
