Stories of Ten Distressed Children

(Yakushi jû-shi den)

Publisher: Sano-ya Tomigorô

1854

I am deferring to Robinson’s precedent by listing this as a series, even though only a single design is known. This print is about 14 by 10 inches (36 by 25 centimeters), a size known as ôban.

Scene: Ôtani Furuinosuke, as a boy, vanquishing a wild boar with his bare hands Robinson: S85.1

‘Robinson’ refers to listing in Kuniyoshi: The Warrior-Prints by Basil William Robinson (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1982) and its unpublished supplement.
