Any help in identifying this print would be greatly appreciated.
Collected, prior to 1930's, by my great great grandmother.
Thanks

The artist is Utagawa Kuniyoshi and it was printed in the 4th month of 1858. The signature has me a little baffled. It appears to be Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi (something) ga (drawn by). The main god pulling the strings is Fukurokuju. There is a less faded example and a little more information at the Kuniyoshi Project (immediately below) and the link below:

Perhaps I. Nagy will translate the text at the top of the print and provide more information.

Cheers,
Stan
