Hi,
Could you help me to identify the artist, the title, the date and the editor of this japanese woodblock print book ? I love it.
Many thanks in any advance for your help.
Best regards,

Shinto Lantern 2nd Volume
A woodblock print book in 5 volumes,published in 1829.
The books contain popular poems (Kyouku and Senryu) of the time. Your 2nd volume is illustrated with comical
pictures from Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
Next page (Middle) is the preface,
Right side, List of Illustrations
Next two pages bear the advertisements of other works from same editor.
In the colophon (left margin) is the name of editor,
永楽屋東四朗 Eirakuya Toshiro in Edo

With regards,

The artist appears to be Utagawa Kuniyoshi. I can't help with your other questions.

Cheers,
Stan
