The set you see here is a reproduction version produced in the post-war period by a media company, Houdou Shuppansha. It's a bulky yet gorgeous set; each print is in a mat holder and contained in a luxe cloth-bound case. It includes with a pamphlet in Japanese and a matching wooden frame (acrylic, not glass) (Let us know if you don't want the frame). The dimension displayed is the print image size and the outer cardboard box is approximately 60 x 46 x 13cm. The Tokaido prints were featured in a pair of 'David's Choice' YouTube videos in October of 2020.
Special Shipping Notice Warning: this set is massive, weighing in at 11 kg (approx. 25 lbs), beyond what our shopping cart can calculate. So we have set the price to include sea freight to any common destination. We can quote an air freight supplement if you wish it shipped that way. All of the prints are in good condition except Arai, which has foxing spots. It is impossible for us to obtain an exact replacement for this, so we have also included a clean version of the same print (from a different publisher). The metal parts on the backside of the frame are a little stained. This set is numbered 152, of what was purported be an edition of 300 copies. The set is in cardboard surrounded by styrofoam for security.  It comes with a pamphlet in Japanese.  The print is lightly glued to a mat folder.  The colophon attached to the case - this set is numbered 152.  The wooden frame with an acrylic board is set in a cardboard case.  The metal parts on the backside of the frame are a little stained.  The index page and ...  ... the forward page in Japanese.  Here are some examples of the prints: Hakone,  Kanbara,  Mariko,  Arai has spots around the gray flag (perhaps) at the upper-middle of the print,  and we covered it with glassine paper so the spot won't spread anymore.  A nice print of Arai from a different publisher is included.  One more example - this is Shono.   Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
