OCHANOMIZU SETCHŪ. 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).

GIŌTOKU SHIOHAMA NO ZU. Salt Fields, Giōtoku.
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.
open diamond Tamagawa no Sato. open diamond Gotenyama no zu. open diamond Matsudo no Sato. open diamond Nakagawaguchi no zu. open diamond Susaki Yuki no Asa. open diamond Koganei no Kei. open diamond Kaianji no Momiji. open diamond Yūhiga Oka. open diamond Azuma no Mori. open diamond Takata no Baba. open diamond Hagidera.

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 Uchū 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.

Two of the prints are illustrated. The left one differs in key block from the ordinary print in the distance, and in the treatment of the boats. Probably an early block afterwards changed when the series was completed. The one on the right was put on view in a set in the exhibition.
