This is an album made up of a series of twelve sheet-prints, of which this is apparently the only complete set, perhaps issued in album form slightly later. The title is an informal one and does not appear on the prints, each of which has as its title the name of a festival celebrated in that month. Each composition is divided into two different aspects of the festival.
