Description: This book holds 27 beautiful woodblock prints by various artists such as Kono Bairei, Imao Keinen, and Mori Kansai. Delicate colors and techniques are used to depict wild animals, plants, people, and scenery.

This book was published by Bunkyudo, a publisher in Kyoto, in the year Meiji 24 (1891).


This book has some stains on the cover. The prints have severe wormholes and slight toning and foxing as well. The pages are also falling apart from the book, so it has to be handled with care. However, the beauty of the prints could still be admired.
