| Series Information: |
| The first edition of this series of 50 prints appears to have been sold to subscription buyers via periodic sets of five prints (perhaps each month). With the completion of subscription purchases a second edition of all 50 scenes was then published in April 1936. Subscription sales were a very common method of selling large print series. |

| Artist Bio: |
Kamei Tobei studied at Kyoto Kaiga Semmon Gakko. He was a founding member of the Kyoto Sosaku Hanga Kyokai. With Tomikichiro Tokuriki and Kotozuka Eiichi he established his own publishing company to support the selling of Sosaku Hanga prints. In 1953 Kamei followed an old Japanese artist tradition and changed his name - to Genbei Kamei.
