The mausoleum at Shiba, published by Watanabe, 1930

The Shiba mausoleums housed the tombs of several Tokugawa shoguns adjacent to Zojo-ji temple in central Tokyo, and stood as an example of pre-modern Japanese mortuary architecture before being damaged in the 1945 air raids. The print likely depicts the ornate gateway, carved transoms, and lacquered surfaces of the complex. The Watanabe Shozaburo imprint marks this as part of Oda's collaboration with the shin-hanga publisher, who at times issued prints by sosaku-hanga affiliated artists. The Watanabe model meant Oda provided the design while the publisher's workshop carved the keyblock and pulled the impression — a departure from the strict self-carved sosaku-hanga ideal but characteristic of the porous boundary between the two movements in actual practice. The 1930 date places the print within the wave of architectural and meisho subjects that Watanabe published in this period. The elaborate decorative carving of the mausoleum gates would have invited careful kebori line work and precise kentō registration across multiple color blocks.
