This pair of prints, and all the prints
below, are from a less labor-intensive edition, which almost invariably means
a later printing. In this edition, the
delicate shading (bokashi) in the
title cartouche was omitted. Bokashi was achieved by hand-applying
a gradation of ink to the wooden printing block rather than inking the block
uniformly. This hand-application had
to be repeated for each sheet of paper that was printed.
