Steve,
Thanks for the information. I didn't know about Kunsthandel Klefisch or Boston Book. Does Beres often have ehon up for auction? Gianni had for sale a incredibly nice original 1801 ehon by Hosoda Eishi "The thirty-six immortal Women Poets". This was a few years ago and I wasn't interested in ehons at the time. The ehon came along with a complete provenance. Rolf Degener recently had a nice original 1804 edition of Utamaro's'Yoshiwara picture book: Annals of the Green Houses. I have not had to much success with preordering particular prints and i suppose the same will be true with ehon, so i'll keep looking.
