OCHANOMIZU SETCHU. Ochanomidzu in Snow.
The Yedo Meisho series published by the Yamadaya is generally called "Jimbutsu Yedo Meisho" (Sights of Yedo with Figures), as the subjects are not so much landscapes as figures.
The series consisted of 40 sheets; 20 of which were published in 1853 (year of cow), 10 in 1854 (year of tiger), 1 in 1856 (year of dragon) and five in 1858 (year of horse).

GIOTOKU SHIOHAMA NO ZU. Salt Fields, Giotoku.
This picture is printed like suri mono. But it was put on sale in the form of a roll consisting of twelve sheets to be used for writing letters. Almost all of these prints on letter paper were used by nobles and dignitaries and
men of taste and consequently there remain very few of them now. Each of the twelve sheets is oblong in size measuring 7½ in. by 20½ in. The prints bear no stamps of publisher. But by the proofs taken from key blocks, now in existence, it has been made clear that they were published by the Wakasaya.
Besides the above, this set contains the following 11 sheets.

MEISHO YEDO HYAKKEI. Famous Hundred Views of Yedo.
These were produce during the period from 1856 or the year of dragon to 1858 or the year of horse. The date is put outside the border of almost every sheet. This is his last grand series, manifestly showing free and bold
style as compared with his former productions which are characterized by delicacy. On the other hand they show an unequalled dexterity in technique of the press. In all there are 118 sheets showing various scenes of the seasons of the year. Besides, there are Akasaka Kiribatake Uchu no Zu (Akasaka-Kiribatake in Rain) by Hiroshige II. and Mokuroku (List of Pictures) making a set of 120 sheets. To those exhibits were added a memorial portrait of Hiroshige by Toyokuni III. The list is appended.
