About The Series

A comic series consisting of twenty chuban size prints, printed two-up on ten oban size sheets. Each print features the character 命 inochi (life) and presents the viewer with recommendations on how to live a healthy, happy and long life. The top-most print on the sheet bears the series number in its upper margin and the bottom sheet contains the artist's signature and seal, the publisher's seal and the date seal. As in this collection's print, most of the extant prints have been separated from their companion print.
