Yoshida noted of this design that he used over-lapping color techniques and zokin-zuri for the stone-work. 14 separate blocks were utilised in all, with each print subject to 74 impressions with an extra 20 for the trees. In addition 5 impressions using baren suji were given to each print.
Last printed in 1985.
