Mitsuhashi Chikako (Original Drawing/Watercolor Painting / "Chichi's Love Picture Book" / Postcard) 3-Piece Set

This is a 3-piece set of works by manga artist Chikako Mitsuhashi.
I am listing this item for sale as I am organizing my collection and wish to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.

◆ Original Watercolor Painting (One-of-a-kind original artwork) Chasing Butterflies (from Chiisana Koi no Monogatari)
■ Frame size: Approx. 170mm x 125mm x 20mm (Postcard size / Wooden frame)
■ Condition: Unused
Purchased at the artist's shop, which was open for a limited time several years ago.
This is a different variation (unpublished version with slightly different details) of an illustration featured in the illustrated poetry book Chi-Chi's Love Picture Book (the green book Yume Haru kara Natsu e) (see photos 3-4).
The metal fitting on the back of the frame is tightly closed, and attempting to open it forcefully could damage the original artwork or the frame, so the back of the original artwork and the presence of a signature have not been confirmed.
Additionally, there is a slight scratch on the bottom left corner of the frame from the beginning (see photo 15). Please be aware of this in advance.

◆ Illustrated Poetry Book Chi-Chi's Love Picture Book 1973 First Edition, Complete Set of 3 Volumes, All Accessories Included (Dedicated case, message card, sales slip)
■ Case size: Approx. 115mm x 85mm x 30mm
■ Condition: Unread
The contents are in very clean condition with no creasing from opening, but there is some age-related deterioration on the covers and case.
*For detailed photos, please check #silvercat_cm where they are posted separately.

◆ Postcard (Picture Postcard) x 1
■ Condition: Unused

Both the original artwork and the picture book are in good condition for vintage items over 50 years old. Please examine the photos carefully and purchase with the understanding that these are works from the Showa era.
