Subject:Request help identifying woodblock artist
Posted By: Roger Sun, Apr 25, 2021 IP: 2600:100e:b0d0:bd24:

Greetings, here’s a nice Japanese wood block. I would greatly appreciate any help identifying the artist of this piece. I think it’s quite old. Additionally I’ve added a photo of the back which has some text in Japanese. Thank you so much for looking!

This is a reproduction of Japanese scroll painting from the 1770s-1780s by the ukiyo-e artist Tsukioka Settei (月岡雪鼎, b.1710 or 1726, d.1786).
Settei worked in Osaka.

Guy.
