Subject:Translation request for Japanese woodblock print #2
Posted By: Kay Tue, May 11, 2021 IP: 2001:999:3:837c:1009
Would anyone be able to translate the calligraphy and the stamp imprint on the top right and bottom left of this Japanese woodblock print please?

Close-ups are below main print.

Any help much appreciated!

Your print is by Ando Hiroshige and is titled Fukagawa Lumberyards (Fukagawa Kiba), from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei) printed in 1856.

From here, this also looks like an original.

See the link below for one at the Boston MFA.

For me it looks like a machine printed reproduction.

I can't argue. The condition is too good and the reds look too strong, but comparing the print to an original it is a match. Without being able to see it up close, I can't tell.

Cheers,
Stan
