Specialist note

Uchiwa-e (fan print) were produced to be mounted as fans, so only limited number of works have survived today. Most of the surviving works are believed to be originally from sample books owned by fan sellers and tend to be in early impression and good condition.
A different design from the same series is in the collection of the Edo Tokyo Museum, accession number 91200305
