I posted this print awhile ago, but no one knew the answer. I was taking pictures of the print and noticed that the back of the print is signed with the publishers mark. I know the artist and title, but can anyone translate the name of the publisher? I am trying to figure out a date for this piece. Thanks for any help

Adachi, known for the quality of their reproductions

it is the seal of the publisher Adachi Hanga Kenkyujo, active starting in 1926

Hi,

I emailed Adachi in Japan about the date of a print with one of its marks on the reverse of a print I have. They were able to confirm the print was published in the 1970s/1980s as the mark wasn't being used anymore. It's exactly the same as your photo, however, mine is in blue and not green. I've attached a photo. you may wish to reach out to Adachi to confirm the date that the mark was being used.
