Subject:Help identify Eisen's woodblock
Posted By: Yura Sun, Jun 07, 2020 IP: 176.106.204.132
Dear forum members!
Please help find out the name and series of this Eisen woodblock. I was only prompted - 今 様 (Imayo). The rest is a mixture of hiragana and hentaigana. Everything else I found out.
The rest is already known to me. Signature - “Eisen ga” (英泉 画)
Publisher - Shimizu (or Kiyomizu - 清水 [しみず]) Marks #328 (Andreas Marks identifies this publisher as Mikawa-ya Seiemon)
Note that the composition with the woman and the child is almost similar to the Eisen woodcut from another series. See - Kaomise Performance at Sakai-chô (Sakai-chô no kaomise), from the series Ten Views of Precious Children of the Present Day (Tôsei kodakara jikkei) - https://ukiyo-e.org/image/mfa/sc222306
Thanks in advance

Title,
今様おさなあそび　-　Imayō osana asobi - Children's passtimes of the present days
The other inscription doesn't want to come together yet.

With regards,
I.Nagy

With refreshed eyes and mind it reads,
すもうりきし　にしき　このふ　身とむかん
Sumo wrestler Nishiki heads towards this way !

With regards,
