Subject:Woodblock Prints
Posted By: Joe A Thu, May 03, 2018 IP: 2604:6000:1201:c0c6:
Hi, I have a stack of papers with prints on them and appear very old, some with foxing stains all over . Can you help identify the marks/artist and about when printed? Also are these common or scarce to find. Any information is appreciated.

These are the pages from the 蒙求　Mōkyu
(or in Chinese Mengqiu). An elementary course in Kanbun (漢文） or written Sino-Japanese language
with ruby kana aids beside the characters and
woodblock illustrations.

The seal on the 1st pic reads,
真虎　-　Matora
Oishi Matora (大石真虎）1792-1833
Ukiyo-e artist from Nagoya.

With regards,
I.Nagy

For more details please see my answer to your next posting.
The reading of calligraphy on the last page,
手安　前川原書　（Teyasu Maekawa Gensho)
Convenient - Maekawa original

With regards,
