位于波士顿市中心的Isabella Steward园林博物馆里，收藏有两块1898-1899期间的日本木刻版，是一本书上的插图。木版是单面刻，没有什么奇特之处，而且第二块木版，有一点儿破损。唯一的可观之处，是这两块木刻版承担了一段历史，并有幸落脚于富贵之家和文化艺术之乡，和荫余堂里的夜壶，有异曲同工之妙。另外是它们的木纹明显，可以看出日本木刻的材质和木料的出处。

Probably a gift from the Japanese art historian and philosopher Okakura Kakuzo (1862-1913) to Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1904-1905, on his first visit to Boston.
