It’s definitely a strange volume because all available volumes in databases or for sale list the volumes as a 12 or 24 compilation of prints. This one has 36 prints

Also none of the albums online have the titles of prints on the right side in black kanji. You can compare here with the British Museum version:

Some of the prints (4 of them) are handpainted over with gofun, especially in the bird’s feathers details

A superb compilation for any serious collector!
