Subject:2 prints
Posted By: edith Cruizer Sat, Nov 11, 2017 IP: 49.194.35.243

Hello, my father had these 2 prints on his wall until he passed away. I never asked him about them and would now like to find out!
Can anyone give me some information?
thank you
Edith

I can't see the signature on the first print.

The second print is by Utamaro (!750s - 1806). Utamaro is a famous Japanese Edo print maker. Very likely, your print is a reproduction. The Boston MFA has a reproduction here:

Better pictures might yield better answers.

Cheers,
Stan

Thank you Stan for your reply.
Here is the print I am trying to identify once more, I hope you can read the signature on this image.

From the information in the email you sent, the first print is a reproduction of a print by Isoda Koryusai (1735 - 1790). Here is an original at the Boston MFA:
