DescriptionThis image appears in two albums in the MFA collection: the original work by Torii Kiyonobu I, dated 1700, with the pages now mounted separately as 11.30230 through 11.30250 (11.30247 shows Usugumo); and an album designed by Okumura Masanobu in 1701, largely copied from the Kiyonobu album: 2009.3656. It is unclear whether the Kiyonobu version or the Masanobu version was the basis for this reproduction.
