Urawa Shuku Asamayama enbo, “Urawa Station, Distant View of Mount Asama” from Kisokaido rokujukyutsugi no uchi, “Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaido.” The set was published by Hoeido and Kinjudo, 1834-1842. The first 23 (of 70) prints were designed by Eisen, the rest by Hiroshige. In the distance can be seen a smoking Mount Asama. Although there is regular volcanic activity, the last bad eruption was in 1783.

Very good impression of the first edition with signature. (This was removed on later states.) Very good colour. Slight centre fold, otherwise very good condition. Signed Eisen ga.
