Subject:Request help reading caligraphy on Japanese drawing
Posted By: Roger Fri, Jul 12, 2019 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:5

Here's another item. It's appears to be quite old. Can you translate the calligraphy on this piece? Thank you!

Your Japanese woodblock print of a kabuki actor is by Kunisada II and was printed in the first lunar month of 1876.

Cheers,
Stan
