Grand Series of Fishes
Uwo-zukushi
魚尽くし

Format: Horizontal ōban
Number of Prints: 20/20

Memorial Catalogue says that there are twenty prints in this series, divided into two sub-sets of ten with the Trout print belonging to the second set.

Ukiyo-e shūka 14 also divides this set into two sub-sets; the first (p.243 #91) consisting of eleven prints and the second (p.243 #100) consisting of ten. A print for Trout (Ayu 鮎) is listed in both (#91.11 and #100.3).

Boston MFA

The first edition of this series was privately printed in the form of a kyōka poetry album in the orihon format, with ten illustrated sheets and four sheets of text only. Soon afterward, the blocks were reused for commercial prints, with the publisher's mark and censor's kiwame seal added (and in a few cases, different poems). One additional design, the trout, was included in the commercial series; and another nine designs were added still later by a different publisher. For a full reproduction and detailed discussion of the first edition, see Mann 2021, pp. 290-311.
