Among his most famous works are a series of handscrolls depicting ''[[kofun]]'' and other Imperial tombs in that province. They may have been produced in conjunction with official [[Tokugawa shogunate|government]] programs in the 1860s to survey and restore some 120 Imperial tomb sites.<ref>Gallery labels, "Mounded Tomb of Emperor Sujin," British Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/20701593798/in/dateposted-public/]</ref>
