DescriptionTriptych: 21.7562 (right), 21.7563 (center), 21.7564 (left)
The right sheet only of this impression has the publisher's mark of Wakasaya Yôichi, while the British Museum impression in the Chiba cataloogue has no publisher's mark at all. Someya dates the BM impression to about 1786-87 (Tenmei 6-7) but considers the MFA impression to be perhaps a reprint edition of about 1791 (Kansei 3).
