Selected Collection of Ukiyo-e Masterpieces: Early Ukiyo-e, Set of 9 Prints

Selected Collection of Ukiyo-e Masterpieces: Early Ukiyo-e 9-Piece Set

This is a precious collection of ukiyo-e works, comprising approximately 250 pieces by artists such as Hiroshige, Utamaro, Kunisada, and Eisen. The series features beautiful gold and red colors, but only a limited number of 9 loose pages are available. Issued on November 10, Showa 42 (1967), it was purchased decades ago at an antiquarian bookstore in Kanda Jimbocho. All are in a loose-leaf state, possibly pages before binding, and were once framed for display at home. The dimensions are approximately 31cm x 47cm when folded. The paper appears to be of a higher grade than ordinary paper, with colors not significantly faded, though other blank areas show brown spots, cracks, and color transfer due to age. There are missing pages at the front and back, with a particularly large number of Hiroshige's works, making it difficult for non-experts to distinguish; please forgive any errors. The horizontal pages of the ukiyo-e section serve as explanations for the next ukiyo-e.
