There are no vexing problems about this print and we have only to add that both of the known impressions now are in America. The other, after being reproduced in the Vignier-Inada Catalogue, number 326, has been rephotographed by Rumpf for his number 75, and elsewhere.

This is the right-hand sheet of the triptych whose central and left-hand portions we have just seen.
The only known impression was at one time in the Mutiaux Collection in Paris and this has been rephotographed here from the Vignier-Inada Catalogue, number 322, as Rumpf rephotographed it for his number 77. It is reproduced in various Japanese publications as well as in the Occidental ones mentioned. Its present location is unknown. The coloring, except for the black obi, has not been described.
