Title,
浮世姿吉原大全 - Ukiyo-sugata Yoshiwara Daizen -
Corpus of the Appearance of Floating-world, Yoshiwara
引込新造の床 - Hikkomi shinzō no toko -
Withdrawn Apprentice-prostitute's Room
Inscription on the wall-picture,
大こく舞 - Dai-koku mai - Big black dance
Title that intentionally wrote the (外こく舞 Gai-koku mai) "foreign dance" incorrectly.
(こ is the modern transcription of old alternative kana 古 which looks here お)
Signature,
溪斎 - Keisai
英泉画 - Eisen-ga - Picture of Keisai Eisen
Seal,
極 - Kiwame - Censored
佐野喜 - Sanoki - 佐野屋喜兵衛 -Sanoya Kihei - Name of publisher
Some Japanese language site date it to 1850 (2 years after the death of the artist)
With regards,
I.Nagy
