Impression information:

The colophon states Kajita Kansuke 梶田勘助 acquired the woodblocks from another publisher (kyūhan 求板) in 1772 (Meiwa 9), but during the Meiji period Kajita was active in Nagoya 名古屋 where he published other titles (e.g., Taizen hayabiki setsuyōshū 大全早引節用集 in 1880; NDL copy, call number 813-Se216-1880). Thus, this copy of Tobae fudebyōshi 鳥羽絵筆拍子 was likely printed in the second half of the nineteenth century using blocks carved in 1772 (Meiwa 9).
