Subject:Identification of kunichika block print
Posted By: Debra M Fri, Jun 24, 2022 IP: 67.0.74.194
Can someone please help identify this framed print. It has been glued down by the framer.
I believe the maker is Toyohara Kunichika, but that's all I know.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
I will attach closeups in a second post.

Your print is by Kunichika and was printed in 1866. It is titled 加古川本蔵 (Kakogawa Honzo) 戸名瀬 (Tonaze).

Cheers,
Stan
