Notes: Probably one of the last known copy of this print (If not the last). If you look forward to own an original print from Hokusai that nobody else in the world has, not even museums, this print is for you :) A couple more print from that series are referenced by the Hokusai Museum of Art, as seen below : As you can see, the quality of these rare prints are not very much better than this one...
