Title、
阿波鳴門 - Awa Naruto
Signature,
廣重画  - Hiroshige-ga - Picture of Hiroshige

This print is a later modified version of the original (dated ca.1853)
The title of the original version is longer and written on two cartouches,
六十余州名所圖会 - Rokujuyoshu Meisho Zukai -Views of Famous Places in the Sixty-Odd Provinces (Red cartouche)
阿波 鳴門の風波 - Awa Maruto no Kazanami(Fuha) - Awa (Province) Naruto Whirlpool (Yellow cartouche)

Key words to find the original on net: hiroshige naruto whirlpool

With regards,
I.Nagy

I haven't yet identified the artist, but this is a mediocre copy of Hiroshige's "Naruto Whirlpools" from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces". Here is a copy at the Boston MFA:
