The complete limited and numbered edition set of twenty-one
tanzaku-sized woodblock prints made from the artist's original
drawings:  (see the introduction by J. HILLIER at lower right)

Condition:
Excellent impression and color; foxing to paper mounts only (not
affecting the prints); paper crease marks at top corners of some
of the prints where they are fixed to the mounts (not visible under
the mounts). These minor flaws are found on all copies of the limited
edition set, else the prints themselves and the chitsu wrapper are in
fine condition (see illustrations below).
