    I do not have this in hand at present but doing due diligence to see if I should purchase. Yes, very heavily foxed but I have a good restoration company if it should hold any history and or value. I find it a very interesting and different scenery than I usually see. About 16”W

    Can someone translate please. I’m willing to do the work from there :)
    Thanks

    There are a number of resources that turn up if you search for ukiyo-e signatures.

    OMG, WHAT THE HECK WAS I thinking :facepalm: I always reverse image just about every thing possible but I seemed to get fixated on the signature. Du-ta-doo. Thank you all for waking me up…… now I just have to see it in person to evaluate it. Thanks again all. I’ll post a in hand photo if I get.

    I took the long convoluted way. I translated the text on the boats that came up with "Omiya," and then searched for "Japanese print women boat Omiya" :)

    That’s the highway I took too. :hilarious: Just got a flat tire at the translation on ramp, so I called antiquers road service to get me going. :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    I’m baaaaack…..:zombie:
    Well went to the sale today. First in line. Blocked the door and wouldn’t let anyone past me till she told me where it was.:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:


    Thought it was heavily foxed and spotted but was surprised to find the spotting was atop the framing. Cleaned with a light soap. What I really like is every one I find Online is in the three separate sheets put together. This is the full bottom uncut woodblock(not modern print.) last two photo’s are where the divide should be. Didn’t clean close to edges as not to get any seepage under glass.

    grateful for your previous information.

    Nice! I especially like the boats' prows and the nails on the bridge.
