Cardboard-wrapped set of five cards plus the set’s cover, of which this scan shows the front.  See 30400229B for the reverse.  For those unfamiliar with Ukiyo-e, we give full credit to Wikipedia for what we repeat here: 

Ukiyo-e (浮世絵 literally “pictures of the floating world”?) is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre, and pleasure quarters. It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Japan.
