Greetings everyone,
I was hoping someone can read the seals on this woodblock print I got to identify the author of it.
Thank you in advance.
Russ

Your print is by Utagawa Kunisada and was printed in 1855. "Konjakuji Teso" No.12. Magician Niki Danjo is spelling his magic. His rival Arajishi Otokonosuke is in the round inset.

It has been trimmed on all sides with the bottom couple of inches missing.

Cheers,
Stan
