The date and censor seal chart in the Sandra Andacht book of "Oriental Decorative Arts" shows seals similar to the one on your woodblock to date to the period 1790-1842.

In an online list, the mark was said to be First Period, lasting from 1790 until 1805, a single round seal reading kiwame ("approved") is found.

Best regards,

Bill H.
