Ogata Gekko gekko portrait Fujin Fuzoku Zukushi

The series titled Fujin Fuzoku Zukushi was probably first published in 1891. There are several ways to translate the title, I will offer The Manners and Customs of Ladies. There are 36 Bijin prints plus an index page and often the series may also be found with a Publishers page (or two). The prints are often found as bound set, either concertina fashion or more rarely with binding cords. At least one set appears to have been bound for the English speaking market as there are English explanations in the colophon. Both Heikichi Matsuki and Sasaki Toyokichi have been said to be the publishers of this series. The prints are 327mm x 222mm. Here are the first 20 images.
