Shows Hakujisso Hakusho (Chin. Bai Sheng) subduing a giant bird with a bamboo pole. From a set Suikoden goketsu kagami, “Mirror of Heroes of the Suikoden” published by Yamaguchiya Tobei, 1856. This is the first edition with gradation on the bird’s beak and elsewhere and the signature cartouche printed in red. Later editions lack these refinements.

Very fine impression. Fine colour. Slightly trimmed, otherwise very good condition. Signed Ichibaisai Yoshiharu ga.
