Four prints from the series are illustrated, identified, and briefly discussed in: Izzard, S.: Kunisada's World. New York: Japan Society & Ukiyo-e Society of America. 1993 (ISBN: 0-913304-37-9), pp. 130-133. It includes your subject of Komurasaki and Gonpachi plus three other pairs of famous lovers (Ofusa & Tokubei, Umegawa & Chûbei, and Umegae & Genta) from legend and from puppet and kabuki plays. The series of ten known prints is dated c. 1832 and was published by Kinjudô (Iseya Rihei). The backgrounds of all the prints depict pages of the jôruri libretti that include some of the dialogues from the plays.

I like the designs very much - they are boldly executed and effectively colored.
