Maryan,
The print is in the Yoshida catalog, illustrated as no. 86 "Evening on the Chikugo River in Hita" (1927). You might have misread the inscription on the backing, or else whoever wrote it was mistaken, as it seems "Gsukuto" has a vague resemblance to the correct "Chikugo" of the title.
This is not a rare print and 50 impresions would indeed seem to be rather low. It is difficult to determine approximate numbers for editions by Yoshida.
