Catalogue Raisonné Sakai, Hiroshige Edo fûkei (1996), list #79.10, pl. 816; Ukiyo-e shûka 14 (1981), Hiroshige list, p. 247, horizontal ôban #09.12; Matsuki 1939, #200
DescriptionThe impression illustrated in Sakai is dated 1843-47 because it has the censor's seal "Tanaka" above the publisher's mark in the lower right margin. This impression, however, does not have the seal and so has been assigned the date of 1840-42 that Sakai gives for other prints in the series.
