| Notes (first edition)?: |
| I am not sure of the original dating. Hiroshige.org suggests that this series might be lacquer paintings. A later woodblock print edition was published by Matsui Eikichi in the 1896/7. It can be distinguished by the title cartouche being outside the image area, with publisher details in the bottom margin. |
