Description

The first eight prints here are the main 'set' - a group of prints expressing standard 'summer greetings', each one labelled with the name of the sponsor, and of the location depicted. All are places where one would go to escape the summer heat.

The lower three are 'extras', and the river scene at lower left appears to have been intended to provide the 'title image', perhaps being pasted on the outer envelope.

Top row (left to right):
Print 1: Doro Gorge on the Kii Peninsula.
Print 2: Amanohashidate in "Tango Province" (northern Kyoto Prefecture).
Print 3: The Mount Kumgang (Kumgangsan) region of North Korea.

Second row (left to right):
Print 4: The valley at Kamikochi, in the Hida Mountains.
Print 5: Lake Towada, on the border of Aomori and Akita prefectures.
