|PublishedThe International Netsuke Society Journal, vol.15, no.4, p.42.Sold together with Jack Coutu's reference card (no.101), on which he states: 'A difficult problem to fit the mermaid into the limited space. The photograph (on the card) could be better and the design improves when seen from above. The cuttlefish is not very clear.'
