The sixteen scanned pages of this book are shown below. Each image can be clicked (and then clicked again) to obtain a larger (and even larger) view of the corresponding print. Since Japanese books are read from back to front, the pages start at the bottom right corner of the table, and end up in the top left corner. As indicated by the image on the Introduction page below, the subject of the haiku in each print of this volume is tsuki (the moon). The images are continued in the fourth and fifth book of this series.
