Volume X, 1878 (later) edition, facing pages forming diptych, complete with all margins, each image area about 5" x 7".

A Buddhist priest in his kesa robe stands at the edge of the sea, with bystanders of various social ranks looking on, and a pine woods in the background, apparently a scene from an historical event or drama.
