Condition: Yellow color faded. Vertical crease now flattened in the center. Some clear spots, a few repaired area. Good overall condition.

Notes: Also, many museums reference that series to be made between 1830 to 1831. In fact, only 10 prints were made by the end of 1831 : The first 10 aizure-e prints. The rest of the 36 views were made in color with blue outline between 1832 and 1833. The remaining 10 prints ( from 37 until 46 ) and the 36 black outline (with more colors) prints were printed even later.

Pictures: Pictures are taken outdoor, in the shade, to reflect true colors, without any enhancements of any kind. The last picture is taken indoor, with a light behind the print, to reveal the exact paper grain, holes if any, or other possible flaws.
