DescriptionThis suite of prints appears to be a reinterpretation of the images that Odagiri Shunkö (1810-1888) produced for his version of Famous Views of Owari Province (Owari Meisho Zue), 1838-1841.There are no current historical records about Niwa (originally pronounced "Niha") Shrine, but was likely located in or around Niwa-no-köri, a county in present-day Aichi Prefecture.
