Description:
"Edo Kinko Hakkei no Uchi" (Eight Scenic Views around Edo) "Haneda Rakugan" Wild geese are descending at the marshy area of Haneda. This place became the Haneda Airport in Tokyo. The original edition had 3-4 "kyoka" (humorous and often satirical poems of 31 syllables) related to the scenery printed. Unlike the most of the later editions which had no poems or some poems had been altered, this edition has all the poems. The complete set of eight prints are rare.
