The series title is in the vertical rectangular cartouche in the top
right corner; the title of each individual print is on the left edge of
the horizontal rectangular cartouche.
The series dates from the middle of Hiroshige II's career, when he was in his
mid-thirties (thirty-five to thirty-seve years old). At this point, he was
using the name
'Hiroshige', since his master
Hiroshige I
had died (in 1858), and Hiroshige II had taken over the
gō
'Hiroshige'; the prints in this series are signed 'Hiroshige'.
This page currently contains 67 prints. Of these, 51 seem to be listed in
Strange. (Due to his use of older transliteration systems, along with a few
reading errors - an understandable problem in dealing with Japanese names,
where characters can have so many different readings - positive
identification of every print he lists is problematic.) That leaves 16 prints
shown here which seem to not be listed in Strange.
Subtracting the other 51 which are listed in Strange from the list given
there, 6 from that list seem to be missing. The missing prints, as listed in
Strange, in alphabetical order, are:

Denzu-in |
Denzu Temple |
Denzu Temple was built by the
Shogun
Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603, as the final resting place for his mother, Odai.
It became something of a family graveyard for the
Tokugawa
family, and other family members are also buried here.
Sometimes the name of this temple is written with the characters
傳通院, but this is not accurate.
The temple's own
web site
uses the other form.

Sakurada |
Sakurada was the district where many
daimyō
had their residences. It was next to Edo castle, residence of the then-Shogun;
we see the castle's moat in this badly-faded image - the thin strip along the
left-hand edge gives an idea of its original colours.
This place's name is often written with the character
桜 now.

Ushi Tenjin Shrine |
This shrine is formally known as the Kitano Shrine.
The name Ushi Tenjin is actually a nickname; at the start of the
Kamakura Era,
the famous warrior
Minamoto no Yoritomo,
the founding
Shōgun
of the Kamakura Shogunate, stopped here on his way to North. He had a
dream in which
Sugawara no Michizane,
known as Tenjin, appeared riding on a bull (ushi), and told him that
his dream would come true.

Yanagishima Myōken |
Myōken Hall at Yanagishima Bridge |
The Myōken Hall was in the north-eastern quarter of the Honjo district,
close to where the Yanagishima Bridge crossed the Yokojukken-gawa Canal,
where the latter met with the Kitajukken-gawa Canal. The Hall was part of
the Honsho Temple complex, and was named for the image of the Bodhisattva
Myōken housed in it. Many Edo residents subscribed to a sect which
venerated the Bodhisattva Myōken.
