Description:
A group of nine prints (the only designs issued) from the incomplete set, together with a title page with colophon and commentary by the artist issued mid-production. The blocks for all the prints were carved by Igami Bonkotsu (1875-1933). The first two designs, Yoshicho and Yanagibashi, were published by Takamura Kotaro at the Rokando art shop ca. 1910; the remaining seven designs and the title page were published (along with the second editions of the first two prints) by Nakajima Shigetaro (Yanagiya-shoten, Seikado) ca. 1914-17.
