Nils,
I’m not certain how your print fits in with the Kiyogaki series. I know that occasionally an odd variant or two will appear from within a series. I assume that you believe your print fits because all the shared series elements (cartouches, layout, etc.) are identical except for the variation in the series title. If your reading of the last characters is correct, they might offer a clue, but without seeing the actual print it is difficult to suggest what they might mean. There is one possible meaning for ‘shûi’, which is "addendum" or "appendix" (from ‘suru’, meaning "to collect what was left out"), but I’m only guessing.
