This print combines two vogues of the Kyoho era (1716-36): pure landscape and designs inside fan and other shaped borders, a format which would normally be painted and stuck onto folding screens. (Label copy, TTC, 1998)

This is the fourth of a series which is otherwise unknown, and which was based on the classical Chinese set called 'Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers'. Kamakura is an old town to the south-west of Tokyo, and the nearby offshore islands and Shinto shrines (one shown on the left) were and are a tourist attraction. The print is placed in a fan-shaped frame, and is signed 'The brush of the craft-artist Kondo Kiyoharu'.
