The list gives information on titles, dates, and (for series) the number of prints in the series. (Note that in written Japanese of this period, the titles are written reading from top to bottom in each column, starting with the right-most column of characters.) For dates after the censor reforms of 1876 (during the Meiji Restoration), when dates are given in full, they are given in day.month form.
In addition, it notes their numbers in Keyes. We use Keyes' numbers to organize the prints on the site.
We have identified a fair number of triptychs which were not listed in Keyes; for single triptchys, we have given them identification numbers of the form 'xxxY', where 'Y' is an upper-case letter. (An entry with a lower-case letter is an interpolation by Keyes, or a place where he listed multiple triptychs without assigning a separate number to each.) Additional prints in a series have been given numbers of the form 'xxx.y', in the order in which we have discovered them.
Keyes listed approximately 342 triptychs (the number is not exact; some of his entries may be duplicates - see below - and some refer to re-publications); we have added an additional 20 or so which are not listed in Keyes. (The lack of clarity is because some of Keyes' entries are sketchy, and sometimes it's not clear if a print we have is one listed in Keyes, or a new, unlisted, print.)
For quite a few triptychs, the title as given in Keyes differs slightly from the title given here. Usually, this is because Keyes' listing indicates that he personally had never seen the print, and we have found an image which seems to be the print which he listed, but has slight title variations.
Since Keyes himself indicated that from some sources "many of the titles .. are abbreviated or mistaken", we have in these cases assumed that we have found an image of the actual print he referred to in that entry, and have corrected the title given here, based on that given on the actual print. (In a few cases, Keyes himself seems to have made a mistake - such cases are usually described in the 'Comments' field for that entry.)
Sometimes there is something which indicates, with high probability, that the data given in Keyes is incorrect. (See, for example, #7.) Sometimes the title is unusual, and basically correct, and the difference is relatively inconsequential. (See, for example, #158.) In such cases, there is a high likelihood that the print has been correctly identified, and that the 'corrected' title has been properly adjusted.
In all cases where an adjustment has been made after an assignment, however, if we find an image of a print with the original title given in Keyes, that - perhaps obviously - will indicate definitively that the print we have identified as being the print in question is not in fact the one in Keyes, but rather a very similar, but previously un-listed, print. The databases will be adjusted in such cases, and the newly identified print will bear a note of the form 'previously thought to be #xxx'.
Due to the post-WWII simplification of written Japanese, the kanji now commonly used in Japanese publications about his work, etc, are sometimes different, simplified, forms; if so, they are given in '()' brackets (occasionally with an accompanying character, to make clear for which character an alternate is being given). (This does not apply to 圖, 'zu', now usually written 図, which is used in so many titles that it would be tedious to write it out in all of them.)
In some cases, Yoshitoshi seems to have deliberately used alternative characters with the same reading, as a sort of visual pun of the kind one sometimes finds in Japanese woodblock prints. In such cases, the 'normal' characters are also given in '()' brackets.
There are also cases where rare characters are used, exact matches for which cannot be found in dictionaries, or in Unicode (the system used to display characters in Web pages). It is usually not clear if this is a legitimate (perhaps archaic) form of the character, or if Yoshitoshi has perhaps simply made a mistake. If there is a close equivalent (especially if it is one Japanese sources have used in transcribing the title), we have used that. In other cases we have elected to leave a '?' in the title transcription.
Sometimes Keyes gives characters in the rōmaji which he does not show in the kanji, or vice versa; and in a few cases, they are not shown in the actual print. Such missing, but interpolated, kanji and rōmaji are given inside '[]' brackets.
In a few cases, Keyes does not give the rōmaji, which has made the transcription of some of the kanji (for prints where we do not have an image of the actual print) somewhat dubious, as the copy of Keyes' thesis used to prepare this page was not a high-resolution copy, and some of the characters are difficult to see clearly in it.
Lacking the cross-check of the rōmaji, or an image of the actual print, it is possible an incorrect character was occasionally selected. Characters which are questionable for this reasons are marked with a small '?'; alternative possibilities are given with a '/' between them. Some kanji we couldn't even begin to read - these are indicated with a large '?'.
Note that prior to 1873, the dates are given in the Japanese lunar calendar used at that point, so a date such as '1860 (4)' is not April, 1860. Months marked as 'I' are intercalary months.
For dates after the switch to the solar calendar, and the new system of date seals, the day and month are given (in that order), not just the month.
For triptychs which are part of series, there is usually a line for each (individually titled) triptych in the series, as well as a line for the series as a whole. Such entries for prints which are part of series can be recognized by their numbers (which are usually of the form 'xxx.y', where 'xxx' is the overall series number).
Note: Keyes generally gives neither the kanji nor rōmaji for the titles of prints which are part of a series, which is why those fields are usually blank for such entries, since at this point we are mostly relying on his work to create this list.
Eventually we hope to locate high-resolution images of such prints, and add that data, but at the moment, much of what we have is what is in Keyes. For a few series, (e.g. 'Four Seasons at their Height') we do have pages, with the title of each individual print, but even in those cases the data is not yet here - mostly because this list is so lengthy that compiling even the basic form has tried the endurance of the compiler!
Unless stated otherwise in the 'Comments' column, all are ōban horizontal triptychs.
For some series, as discussed above, the title given here differs slightly from that given in Keyes. Such entries are marked with a '$' after the Keyes number. (Slightly variant forms, such as 圖 for 図 are such minor differences that they are not thus noted.)
For triptychs which Keyes indicated he had never actually seen, only found listed in other sources, unless we have found images of these triptychs, to verify that they actually exists (e.g. that it is not a duplicate listing for something else already listed here), these entries are marked with a '*' character next to the Keyes number. Similarly, triptychs which Keyes was not sure were not duplicate listing are also marked with a '*'.
For series, the number of triptychs (where known) in the series is shown. Where a series does not have any fixed number of triptychs, and we are unsure whether more triptychs remain to be discovered, we show the number of triptychs we currently have displayed, marked with a terminal '?'.
If some triptychs in a series are known from written sources only, e.g. the list in Keyes, we list them in the form 'm+n', where 'm' are the triptychs we have displayed, and 'n' are the number known only from written sources. The sizes of series sizes given by Keyes, but not otherwise verified, are marked with a terminal 'K'.
Some series include one of more title pages or other supernumerary prints; such series use an '&' to delineate the supernumerary prints.
For a number of seemingly single triptychs (i.e. not part of a series) in this list, from the looks of the title cartouche, with the classic 'title/subtitle' division, it not clear if this is just a single triptych; or one from a series, of which this is the only one known; or perhaps from a notional seires - i.e. intended to be a series, but with only one triptych ever done. Such triptychs are indicated with a "Series" notation in the 'Comments' column.
Triptychs which are not listed in Keyes have a '!' after their number. (This may seem superfluous, since most such triptychs have numbers of the form 'xxaA' which are easy to see, but in cases where we have found another print in a series, and have numbered them as 'xxx.y', they are do not stand out.)
NOTE: This table is currently drawn largely from data in Keyes' thesis. As we slowly add images (and ones large enough to read the characters in the captions), we will cross-check his information. In a few places there are discrepancies betwen the data given in Keyes, and our reading of the print, and it's not clear which is correct; the alternative is given inside '{}' brackets in such cases.

1866 (6) | 173A! | A once-common scene, not often depicted in ukiyo-e.
Mashiba Hisayoshi was the alternative name used by convention (in the Kabuki theatre and elsewhere) for Hashiba Hideyoshi, an early name of the military strongman Toyotomi Hideyoshi. |

| Moon of the five aspects | Gojū no tsuki | 五條 乃 月 (条)(の) |
1867 (2) | 190.2! | There is probably a complicated visual pun here; gojū, written with a different last character, means "five cardinal Confucian virtues" (常), or "five passions" (情). | |

| (Untitled) | Hayase Iori Adachi Yasuke Adachi Motoemon |
早瀬伊織 安達 弥助 安達元右衛門 |
1867 (4) | 191 | Keyes gives few details about this print, other than to list the
publisher - Marujin - but it seems to be this one, published by Maruya
Jinpachi.
Shown are (L to R) Sawamura Tosshō II as Hayase Iori; Nakamura Shikan IV as Adachi Yasuke; and Ōtani Tomoemon V as Adachi Motoemon. Adachi Motoemon is sometimes read as Adachi Genemon, but the former reading seems to be the usual. |

1867 (4) | 192$ | The identity of this print is not absolutely certain, as Keyes gives
very few details about it, other than naming two of the personages
shown in half-length portraits.
Since they match, this is probably it. The publisher of this one is
Ōmiya Kinkyū (Sawa Kyūjirō).
Shown are (from L to R) Ōtani Tomoemon V as Adachi Motoemon, Sawamura Tosshō II as Hayase Iori, and Bandō Hikosaburō V as Tōma Saburōemon. |

titles; a related term, yawatanoyabushirazu, seems to mean 'laybyrinth'
or 'maze'. The rōmaji or translation might be incorrect; the kanji is definitely correct, though; it has been checked against an image of the print. |
