Subject:Request your help on stamped mark on Kitagawa Utamaro prints
Posted By: Roger Sun, Aug 15, 2021 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:4

Hi All!
I bought these prints recently. I know they are Kitagawa Utamaro woodblocks (recut)but I can't figure out the red stamped mark on the left lower margin. I assume it's info on the publisher but unsure. I would greatly appreciate any help deciphering this! Thanks much!

Your repros are probably from he 1960s.
