Ink stick printed picture book that contains songs from 『Ogura hyakunin isshu (One hundred poets, one hundred poems)』and the singer’s portraits. The complete set of this book is rare, and aside from this collection, the collection in the National Library of France is well known. Hishikawa Moronobu (1618-1694) is one of Ukiyo-e pioneers. One of the surviving artworks of 100 singers were crafted after the Edo period, and works created by Kanō Tan'yū and Ogata Kōrin are famous. Yet this collection is valued as one of earliest print works.
