DescriptionThe MFA has four prints with this mysterious series title: 06.713 (signature of Shigenaga, publisher Igaya), 06.1219 (unsigned, publisher Murataya; appears to be a copy or forgery of 06.713), 11.2088 (no signature or publisher's mark), and 21.5878 (signature of Shigenaga, publisher Igaya). The meaning of the title (literally "summer + extend + details") is unclear.
