In the pursuit of Doi truth, we have carefully studied four states of a single Hasui print. Granted, these are not high stakes; Red Fuji this isn't. But for those who puzzle over the dating of Doi prints, this Case Study is a useful real-world application of the Doi seal information presented elsewhere.

Click the [large] link next to each print to view it in a new window. This allows you to examine and compare all four states together, as you follow along in the Case Study.
