Signed 'Ichiyûsai Kuniyoshi ga' (一勇斎国芳画), Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), one of the great Ukiyo-e artists of the 19th century. The publisher seal reads 'Wakau' (若宇), a publisher that is not further identified, active in Edo between 1842-1850.
The two circular censor seals refer to a publication date between 1846 and 1848.
