This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print carries a title referencing multiple artists rather than a specific subject, indicating it may belong to a multi-artist album or portfolio, or that a collection database has merged records from different works. Kamei Tobei contributed to collaborative print projects published alongside other [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) and [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) artists, and this print may represent his entry in such a collection. Publishers like Watanabe and Doi occasionally assembled portfolios of views by several artists united by a common theme, typically famous places or seasonal subjects. Kamei's contribution to such a project would characteristically feature a Kyoto scene rendered with the atmospheric depth and tonal sensitivity that defined his mature landscape work, whether or not the current catalog title accurately reflects the image.
