                                            Dealer Notes
                            Hiroshige manga containing inked and coloured wood block prints by one of Japan’s leading ukiyo-e artists, complete in two volumes though a further volume with that title did appear later. The title translates as "Hurried Brush Strokes," which indicates the artist's style and approach to these works.
