The artist is Kunisada II and the series is Fifty-four Chapters of the False Genji (Nise Genji gojûyo jô) printed in 1864. If you go to the Boston MFA site (mfa.org), do an advanced collection search with "Kunisada II Genji", starting on the second page you'll see the prints from the series. For example, you have Chapter 13 Akasi:

https://collections.mfa.org/objects/535947/ch-13-akashi-from-the-series-fiftyfour-chapters-of-the-f?ctx=4386be51-ed63-4c7f-8f38-a0b289c89092&idx=24

I'll let you figure out the rest of the chapters.

Cheers,
Stan
