tion of Kurth with one of them still credited to the Jaekel Collection although it had been sold to a Russian dealer, and the other to the collection of Madame Straus-Negbaur. Ukiyo-ye Taisei Vol. VIII, number 76, rephotographs from Kurth and shows them once more together.
Two other impressions of the left-hand sheet now are in America and one of these appears in the Vignier-Inada Catalogue, number 303, Rumpf number 94, Jacquin Catalogue, number 34, and in Noguchi.

The coloring in this print and number 100 is the same except for the fact that the under kimono and streamers in the left-hand sheet are orange and white, whereas here they are orange and yellow. In both the over garments are violet with decorations in green, yellow and rose; the outer kimono are rose-colored and decorated in green, yellow, violet and faded blue; the obi are violet and faded blue. The foregrounds are yellow, the tree trunk is yellow and green and the maple leaves are in faded rose.
This, the right-hand sheet of the diptych, has been discussed under the preceding number, and here we will only add that it was last reproduced as Rumpf number 95 and in the Straus-Negbaur Sale Catalogue, number 273, at which time it had been separated from the left sheet through the dispersal of the Jaekel Collection. No other impression has been recorded, but there is one other in America.
