Description
This preliminary print provides more details about the set's production. The name of the senjafuda group which produced the set, the Toto Nosatsu-kai, is given on the left. At the centre of the print is an illustration by artist and calligrapher Shiccho of a stone carved with the words Nosatsu-zuka ("Votive tablet [group] memorial"). There are several examples of memorial stones of senjafuda groups in Japan, although it is unclear where this particular one is located. The wood grain design on the "tablets" on the left is a nice touch.
