I have only seen this triptych once before, in real life, here in Japan, about 15-20 years ago. Further I think there is an example illustrated in a Japanese book (possibly Tamba, which is one of the richer sources on Hiroshige reference illustrations), or some catalog. Unfortunately I do not have most of my reference books on Hiroshige right now, so I can not check.
The triptych I saw here was in very similar condition to yours. Can it be the same? It is a very rare triptych, few if any living Westerner have seen as many Hiroshige prints as I have.
