「東京開化名勝ノ内」 「浅茅ヶ原一ツ家古事」「真土山山谷掘」「橋場総泉寺境内化地蔵之図」

This print shares its title with kawanabe-kyosai--6 and appears to be a second impression or variant state of the same design from the 'Tōkyō Kaika Meishō no Uchi' series. The three vignettes — the Asajigahara murderous-hag legend, the Sanyabori canal at Manuchiyama, and the Kewai Jizō at Hashiba's Sōsenji — constitute the same composition examined under different printmaking conditions. Differences between impressions of multi-state nishiki-e from this period may manifest in ink saturation, color register alignment, paper tone, or progressive block wear affecting line crispness. The Asajigahara legend, circulating in Edo fiction and kabuki dramatizations of the Adachigahara tale, gave this locale potent supernatural associations that Kyosai — trained from childhood in demon and ghost imagery — would have engaged with evident authority. The Kewai Jizō subject grounds the supernatural content in living devotional practice, showing the coexistence of folk religion and uncanny lore within the meishō-e geographic record.
