■ Product Description
This is a very luxurious Ukiyo-e reproduction art book published by Chunichi Eigasha in 1974.

Supervised by Eiji Yoshida, an authority on Ukiyo-e research.

At a time when reproductions of single prints were mainstream, this book was published with great passion, featuring 20 triptychs (a format where three prints form one large picture).

Notably, half of the works, 10 pieces, are by Kitagawa Utamaro, making it an irresistible collection for Utamaro fans.

■ Contents (Partial Excerpt)
• Kitagawa Utamaro: Abalone Divers, The Tale of Ise, Under the Ryogoku Bridge, and 7 other works (10 total)
• Ando Hiroshige: Ryogoku Evening Cool from Famous Places in the Eastern Capital
• Utagawa Kuniyoshi: Morning Mist at Komagata
• Features a full lineup of Edo's representative artists such as Torii Kiyonaga, Keisai Eisen, and Chobunsai Eishi.

■ Product Condition
• Outer Box: As this is an old book from half a century ago, there are scuffs and scratches due to age, and rust is visible on the binding (staple area).

• Main Body (Illustrations): Kept carefully in the box, the condition is surprisingly beautiful. The colors are very vibrant, with almost no stains, dirt, or sun fading. It is in excellent condition for viewing, unbelievable for something 50 years old.
