This is just one of at least 25 Japanese Woodblock Prints in a very Old Japanese Story Book by one Artist. All are Original Woodblocks that have been Tipped into the Book. The Story Line is Written on the back. Each Block Print measures 9.5 x 7 Inches. Wood Love to have all the Japanese Writing Translated to English for me Please. Thank You All Very Much!

The artist is Adachi Ginko. There is a copy in the Waseda Theater Museum, but that doesn't help me tell you more. The title is 大日本史略図会 十九. Google translate gives: Dainippon History Chart 19. Perhaps I. Nagy can help us out.

Cheers,
Stan

Your just plain Awesome! I have never had anyone else except for you Translate Chinese & Japanese including Seals on the Asian Forum Site or any other Site I have used! Truly a Talent which I am sure came by Hard Work and Schooling. Hope you are doing well on the Financial end because there are some that would charge a pretty penny for this service if they had half the Talent! Must be a Labor of Love ... Thank You Once Again I. Nagy! Gary K

Thank You Very Much Once again Stan! Like I said to I. Nagy must truly be a Labor of Love for you to do this Valuable service for Collectors! Sincerely, Gary K

We collect Japanese prints. I do it to learn more about prints I haven't seen before.

I'm happy to help where I can.

Cheers,
Stan
