Kawase Hasui "It seems there are some dimensional differences of Hasui Heisei editions compared with early versions. Please see the image here, where left is the Hesei version and right an early version (no seals, estimated early prewar). "In another image, where both prints are overlayed, you see that the Heisei version is approx. 5mm smaller at the "short" side. However the long side doesn't show any significant difference in length. "I am no expert in paper, can this be explained by shrinking? 5mm shrinking I would accept, but I expect that an older print shrinks more (or maybe, older paper is of higher quality and therefore has more dimensional stability?). Furthermore, shrinking not only happen in one dimension, but also along the "long" side? "What puzzles me more is the writing on the lower margin (actually right to left). In the Heisei version, the utmost left character, is in flush with the extension of the left margin, whereas the same character in the older version has a slight offset to the right! New keyblock???? According to Mr. Watanabe Jr., they never recarved the blocks.
