SOLUTION TO AN OLD MYSTERY. KUNICHIKA'S FIRST PRINT SERIES (THE FIVE
FESTIVALS)
Here it is, the final print in what is possibly Kunichika's first (and
until now undiscovered) print series (the Five Festivals)
They are: (not in any particular order)
Tanabata
Hina matsuri
Iris festival
Chrysanthemum festival
New Years
Thank you everyone for helping to figure this one out! I think it has been
about 6 years in the making. Special thanks to Hans Olof for identifying
the signature, Suica for identifying the series, and Andrew for providing a
photo of the print in his collection. Andrew, could you contact me at

Best,
Dom
