7. Hiroshige: A Shoal Of Fishes by Hiroshige AndōMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A collection of Hiroshige's fish prints with poems in an unusually formatted book, a trait I always enjoy. It's not bound. Rather it has hard covers for the front and back but no spine. End papers are attached to the covers and the rest is all folded accordion style. Really it's all one super long page. If you had the space, you could unfold the entire book. It's stored in a cardboard sleeve.
After all the prints, there are pages with thumbnail versions which tell you the type of fish or shellfish pictured, the season indicated by plant life, and translations of the poems.
