Notes (1st edition)Notes by Ross: The original "genga" sketches were drawn by Kiyochika not long before his death. Some trail prints were also produced around this time, possibly shortly after his death. The much reduced woodblock print series was finally published in 1929. See my notes here.
Publisher (this edition): Adachi Matsuki Heikichi (Daikokuya)
Date of this item: 1915 circa
Notes (this edition)
These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: 		It is very interesting to know that this scene, which was not selected for inclusion in the official 1929 series, was published by Adachi at some time. Or did Adachi simply add their publisher seal to the back of this print? My example of this print does not have an Adachi seal on the verso. Saturday, 15 January 2011

Probably a trial print, originally intended for the series 100 Views Of Japan, but not officially released in the 1929 publication.
