About
On back: red seal 参百五拾枚限絶版、第一九一號 {sanbyakugojū mai kagiri zeppan, dai hyakukyūjūichi gō} (edition of 350, no. 191); stamp: MADE IN JAPAN. Second edition, published by Kawaguchi alone in the 1930s. The original Benten Pond that belonged to Zōjō Temple does not exist anymore in its size. All that remains is a small pond at the southeast of Tokyo Tower in what is now Shiba Park.
