Clark 1992
Various landscapes (mainly around Edo) and figure subjects (some historical, some genre) are painted on circular, fan-, kidney-and octagon-shaped papers and were probably originally stuck scattered over folding screens or sliding doors as interior decoration. The diamond-shaped seal of the stylised character 'shige' was used by both Hiroshige I and Hiroshige II, but the broad, large figure style and jaunty colouring with accents of brilliant blue and green suggest Hiroshige II, working during the period after Hiroshige I's death, before he moved to Yokohama (c. 1859-65). The subjects are drawn from the standard Hiroshige repertoire and the paintings briskly but pleasingly done. Each is inscribed by the artist with a title, listed as follows:
1 Arakawa [River] - fan.
2 Sakurada-jo - fan.
3 Tonegawa [River] - circle.
4 The historical site and carp pool at the Yatsuhashi Bridge ('Ike rifu Yatsuhashi koseki') - circle.
5 Gojo no hashi [Bridge] - circle.
6 Ferry at Ichikawa ('Ichikawa no watashi') -circle.
7 Kasuga - circle.
8 The Ataka Barrier, Kaga Province ('Kaga Ataka no seki') - circle.
9 Teppozu - circle.
10 Omori - circle.
11 Tsukudajima [Island] - kidney.
12 Fudo Shrine at Meguro ('Meguro Fudo') - circle.
13 Cherry trees in the mountains ('Sanchu sakura') - kidney.
14 Ryogoku [Bridge] - kidney.
15 The base of the hill at Dokanyama ('Dokanyama shita') - kidney.
16 Yakushi Temple at Arai ('Ami Yakushi') - kidney.
17 The cutting at Yanaka ('Yanaka Kiridoshi') - kidney.
18 The Bay at Miho ('Miho no ura') - kidney.
19 Susaki [Point] - octagon.

Asahi 1996
本作品はさまざまな風景（多くは江戸周辺）と人物（歴史人物や風俗）を主題として、円型、扇型、団扇型、八角形の紙に描かれている。もともとは室内装飾として屏風か襖に貼り交ぜてあったものであろう。菱形印は「重」の字を意匠化したもので、初代広重も二代広重も使用した。しかしながら大柄でぽってりした人物の表現や、鮮やかな青と緑をアクセントにした色使いから二代広重と思われる。彼は安政6年から慶応元年頃、初代広重没後から横浜へ移るまで二代広重として活動した。題材は標準的な広重のレパートリーから選ばれ、作品は略筆だが好ましいものである。それぞれに画家が題を記している。以下に列挙する。
1甲州荒川（扇型）2桜田上（扇型）3利根川（円型）4池鯉鮒八ツ橋古跡（円型）５五条橋（円型）6市川の渡し（円型）7春日8加賀安宅の関（円型）9鉄砲洲（円型）10大森（円型）11佃嶋（団扇型）12目黒不動（円型）13山中桜（団扇型）14両国（団扇型）15道潅山下（団扇型）16新井やくし（団扇型）17谷中切通し（団扇型）18三保の浦（団扇型）19洲崎（八角形）20池中のおし鳥（八角形）21長門下の関（八角形）22目黒千代が岡（八角形）23さかおいのわたし（八角形）24不二川船渡（八角形）25近江野田（八角形）
