Posted By: Stan Fri, Jun 01, 2018 The artist is Kuniyoshi. The 1852 print is Fukushima: Urashima Tarô, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidô Road (Kisokaidô rokujûkyû tsugi no uchi). |

Posted By: Stan Sun, Jun 03, 2018 We have 6 from the series. All are in poor condition; trimmed into the image and toned. We bought them in a large lot and you have to take the bad with the good. |

Posted By: Stan Thu, Jun 07, 2018 The auction at artelino.com sold a copy of your print for $240 on October 15, 2006. Your print appears to be a little more faded than the one sold. Also, prices are lower than they were then. They took a hit during the Great Recession and haven't fully recovered. More recent sales (2013 and 2014) of prints from that series sold for $140 and $180 respectively. Call it $150ish. |
