Re: Original WOODblock HORIBE YABI by TOyckuni 1850

Tina,

It is likely an original by Toyokuni II from the Chushingura (a fictional account of the revenge by the Forty-seven Ronin for the death of their master).

The signature is in the lower right and I can make out the Toyokuni. Also, the censor seals are in the lower right and a date can be determined from them but they are too small in your picture.

As far as value goes, Toyokuni II prints often go for a few hundred dollars. I don't follow his prices as avidly as I do other artists.

Cheers,
Stan
