The Series - Twelve Aspects of Kyoto
This collection of twelve ko-tanzaku format prints was originally published in November 1943. As originally released, the prints were mounted onto a stiff backing and placed in a folding portfolio by the publisher or placed into a decorative wooden box, as pictured below. At an unknown date the prints were sold unmounted without the stiff backing.
The prints (shown below) provide views of various festivals and places in Kyoto (referred to in the series title by its once popular name of Kyōraku). As listed in the Table of Contents, each print was linked to one of the twelve months.
Note: Prints are shown in month order below starting with January in the upper
