Subject Description: Considerable uncertainty clouds the date and format in which the series was issued. A color-printed wrapper with a design of red peonies in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, bearing the title Furyu Nishiki-e Ise Monogatori-nijuyommai (Fashionable Brocade Pictures of the Tales of Ise-twenty-four sheets), suggests that at least the first half of the series was issued as twenty-four single-sheet prints in the small koban size, contained in a decorative wrapper. In his Ehon Nempyo (Chronological List of Illustrated Books) of 1983, however, Urushiyama Matashiro gives a firm publication date of New Year 1773 for Ehon Ise Monogatori, which he describes as a half-size book of color prints by Shunsho, published by Urokogataya Magobei of Edo.
