Remarks:
On the back of the canvas, there are three lines of writing (vertical writing): ``Seashells/by Kotaro Migishi/Setsuko Migishi''.According to materials provided by the Kotaro Migishi Museum of Art, Hokkaido, at least as of 3, there was no writing on the second line saying ``by Kotaro Migishi,'' and it is known that the current status has changed since 1995.Additionally, the above-mentioned materials indicate that the frame when it was acquired by the university in 2 was replaced between 97 and 2010.This frame was not original and was severely deteriorated and damaged, making it difficult to appreciate and preserve the work, so it was replaced in July 1995.When deciding on its design, we referred to the frames of ``The Sea and the Rays of Light'' (Fukuoka City Art Museum) and ``Flying Butterflies'' (Hokkaido Migishi Kotaro Museum of Art), as well as related literature.
