Eastern Library, 江戸錦 吾妻文庫)

This three-volume set was at one time attributed to Hiroshige,
but is now generally accepted as being the work of Kuniyoshi. All woodblock printed pictures from the set
are reproduced below. Each page is approximately 8¾ by 61/3
inches or 22 by 16 cm, a size known as hanshi-bon. I am
grateful Marijn Kruijff of Shunga Gallery for supplying several of
these images. |
