This woodblock print serves as the cover folder for a collected album of Okumura Koichi's work. Album sets were a common format for [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) publishers, packaging multiple prints in decorative folders that could be displayed individually or kept as a bound portfolio. Koichi, who worked primarily in the postwar period, produced seasonal landscape views of Kyoto and other scenic regions across Japan. The album folder itself typically features a title cartouche and decorative border, functioning both as protective packaging and as an aesthetic statement about the prints contained within. Such folders are collected in their own right, as they bear the artist's seal and often include calligraphic inscriptions that identify the series, publisher, and edition details.
