The introduction page (X:\HIROSE\HIROS_DR.HTM) to the Hirose Dragon forgeries mentions that they were printed in sheets of 48 (6 x 8). However to date, multiples of Hirose forgeries have been as elusive to find as those of Wada. Recently a joined vertical pair of the 48 mon Die A forgery was discovered.
