Description:
12 double-page color woodblock illustrations. 20.5x14 cm (8x5½") accordion-bound, tan cloth covers, English title label.
Originally published in 1820, in the Edo period, with a poetic text accompanying the images. Later editions, including this one, often omitted the text except for a brief colophon in Japanese. This edition likely issued during the late Meiji period (early 20th century) for the tourist or export trade. Scarce OCLC locates only 4 copies.
