Note:- The Memorial Catalogue states that these were published by Jakurindo. The examples in the Happer Sale, that of the Bow Moon catalogued by MM. Vignier and Inada, and those in the Victoria and Albert Museum have the mark Kikakudo (Sanoki); so possibly the Memorial Catalogue is in error. An interesting experiment was made by the late Mr. Wilson Crewdson, who had the second of the series enlarged to 3 ft. by 1 ft. 2 in., a stencil cut, and used for printing cloth. Specimens are exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
