Genroku jinbutsu by Nishikawa Sukenobu, 1751
 

'Genroku jinbutsu' by Nishikawa Sukenobu is undated but has been allocated to 1751 because that is the date of his death and thus the last possible date at which the work could have been created. It contains a print showing a garment decorated with Paper Cranes and another which shows an Incense Packet folded from decorated paper lying on the floor.

A copy of the work can be accessed online here.
