Attribution / Authentication Note

The Taiseido attribution is based on the supplied Etsy listing documentation and has not been professionally authenticated. A red multi-character mark is visibly present on the underside of the plate, but the characters are not transcribed in this record because they cannot be established with sufficient confidence from the available photographic evidence.
