After the discovery of woodblocks used to print a book of patterns by Hokusai called "Hokusai Moyo Gafu - Shingata Komon-cho (Hokusai Design Sketchbook - Album of New Format of Fine Patterns)" at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Awazu Kiyoshi unveiled a series of nine woodcut prints the following year. Awazu showed great respect and appreciation for Hokusai's designs and skillfully combined bright colors, arranged the motifs playfully, and utilized the features of woodcut prints to produce the series.
