Subject: Very Old Japanese Woodblock Print Needing Translation Help - Thanks!
Posted By: Gary Knudtzon Thu, Feb 18, 2021 IP: 2601:602:681:1290:d9

This is One of Many Fabulous & Early Full Size 13.5 x 9.5 inch Japanese woodblock Prints in an Album Fold-out Book. This Album Book is representing actually ( 3 ) different very Fine Artists Woodblock Prints. I am showing only one Artist Woodblock Print right now because I already have another Woodblock Print from another Book on this Forum already. Will list the Two others later. Hoping for a Translation of all the Calligraphy into English if possible. I don't even know the Artist of any of these Woodblocks or the Publishers or Date. Any Help will Highly be Appreciated Always! Thank You! Gary k
