The "Tales of Genji" were often designed by the Japanese Ukiyo-e masters. The novell includes 54 chapters and following these chapters most often Genji series include 54 prints. Normally a title page is added so the series have 55 prints.

These Genji series was desigend by Kunisada in the years 1848 to 1852. 17 of the prints are sigend with "Toyokuni ga" in his red Toshidama cartouche and some of these are dated "year of the rat", 11. and 12. month.

Many thanks to Guenter Mueller who helped with the new data!
