In the off chance that anyone's reading this ...

The Metropolitan Museum of Art dates Enoshima Yūryō Awabi-tori no Zu to 1791, while Kikuchi 1979 dates it to early Bunka (which starts in 1804; Utamaro died in 1806). I suspect this is an error by Kikuchi or his editors (who perhaps selected the wrong image—Enoshima Awabi-ryō no Zu dates to Bunka and is signed "Utamaro", though it's by Utamaro II). I'd like to find more evidence of a date. Can anyone help? Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 06:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
