Subject:Help requested translating kanji on papers on back of woodblock
Posted By: Chris Thu, Jun 02, 2022 IP: 2600:8801:fb00:a16:f
Hello all!

I am including below a link to a photo of the paper attached to the back of a woodblock I own. I am cataloging my woodblocks to see if any of them are worth sending to auction.

Any assistance in helping me translate the kanji would be warmly appreciated and most welcomed, and I thank you in advance for the same!
