Subject:Request your help translating marks signatures on Japanese Woodblock
Posted By: Roger Wed, Oct 28, 2020 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:8
Hi All,
I would greatly appreciate any help in translating the signatures and marks on this Japanese Woodblock print. I did not show the subject of the woodblock as it is erotic art. Thank you!

Title cartouche,
北國五色墨　-　Hokkoku Goshiki-zumi - Five Shadows of the Northern Quarter ( Name of series)
てっぽう　　-　Teppō　-　Rifle (Low class prostitute)
Signature,
哥麿筆　　　-　Utamaro-hitsu - Brush of Utamaro
Marking of original publisher,
山一の ?　 - Yamaichi no ?　　-　I can't identify it
Marking of reprint publisher (Left lower fringe),
内田版　　　-　Uchida-han - Uchida version
Uchida publishing was founded in 1919 specializing in ukiyo-e reprints.

The original was published; 1794-1795

Kitagawa Utamaro 1753-1801

I think your reprint is not really old.

With regards,
I.Nagy

This is a reproduction of an Utamaro print by the Uchida printing company.
