His 'new' limited editions run to 1000. I would love to at least pin down the year. Signed by the artist in pencil, numbered 38/80. The printed part is 12 3/4" by 16 1/2. The paper has an embossed mark...Gendai Hanga Center...Tokyo, Japan Titled "Country Fair" with Japanese and other symbols throughout (love the flying octopus!). There is a newer "Country Fair" print, which is more American and homogenized than this. "Born in Japan in 1937, Nobuo “Nicky” Watanabe has made a life for himself as an artist.
