[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1601475, member: 12007"][B]All[/B] Japanese wood blocks (the printing blocks, that is) were destroyed in the fires of the Great Kanto Earthquake of the 1920's. The blocks for that Hiroshige series were well-worn out and recut several times prior to the destruction. That's what happens when you're popular, re-issue ad infinitum! The other two were published by Uchida, a prolific publisher of post-WW2 editions. The Hiroshige recut could have been bought at Uchida's too.[/QUOTE]
