In addition, his œuvre contains a very large number of three panel scenes with individual titles, not collated into series. One group of these could be assembled under the heading, "The Royal Household at Play", another could be grouped under "Scenes from the Kabuki", and a third under two sub-titles, "The Satsuma War" and "The Sino-Japanese War.'
An album of twenty-five triptychs was published in 1877 by several artists, including Chikanobu, which brought to light the events of an important domestic insurrection (the Satsuma Rebellion).
A bound album in ōban tate-e format was conceived and assembled by the publisher, Matsuki Heikichi, under the title of "Kyōdō risshiki" [Self-made Men Worthy of Emulation/Exemplars of Learning and Achievement] containing 50 prints (though 53 are known) by various artists including Chikanobu who produced two of the images: #16 Hagaku and # 43 Chikako. Although the publication dates of the prints in this series ranged from 1885 to 1890, Chikanobu's two contributions to this effort are dated the fourth and fifth months of 1886.
