Poems translated in Mann, Sixty Years with Japanese Prints (2021), p. 304.
The first edition of this series was privately printed in the form of a kyôka poetry album in the orihon format, with ten illustrated sheets and four sheets of text only. Soon afterward, the blocks were reused for commercial prints, with the publisher's mark and censor's kiwame seal added (and in a few cases, different poems). One additional design, the trout, was included in the commercial series; and another nine designs were added still later by a different publisher. For a full reproduction and detailed discussion of the first edition, see Mann 2021, pp. 290-311.Prints26.300000000017645901
