Keyes notes: A bound set of landscape prints in the vertical chuban format originally published by Muraichi in 1852. The original censorship marks are preserved, but this is a late republication with aniline pigments used throughout. The first four plates seem to have been redrawn by Hiroshige III to include foreign elements & ships(?), carriages, electric wires, rickshaws. The color blocks for the entire set may have been recut.
