These are really good! Volume 16 of the Hokusai Manga? ;-)
In the same vein - I'll never forget seeing the "53 Stations of the 
Tokaido Trail" exhibition of Hiroshige's pictures in London in 1972. 
Such a wonderfully refreshing  contrast to all the other exhibitions 
going on at the time.
Cheers
Douglas
