The series 'Tokyo Jiman Juni-ka-getsu: Pride <strong>of</strong> Tokyo,<br />

Twelve Months is one <strong>of</strong> Yoshitoshi's lesser known<br />

bijin series. A nicely executed series, it features a<br />

calender <strong>of</strong> women, involved in various activities<br />

associated with life in Tokyo. This series is similar in<br />

many respects to his better known series, Twenty-Four<br />

Hours at Shimbashi and Yanagibashi ( Shinryu nijushi<br />

toki ) 1880.<br />
