    Am interested in knowing anything anyone knows about this print; there are 2 photos posted on the Art media page. It's one of four; possibly by the same artist. Purchased at an antiques shop in Denver, Colorado. I see the words "Toya Kuni," but can find nothing about these words. If they are the artist's name, I can find nothing about them, either.

    Many thanks, in advance, Kathy

    PS: Did I correctly ask about this and correctly post the photos?

    Your photos are not embedded in this post. They were posted to the Media Gallery. You can use the little camera icon in the Reply toolbar to find and embed those pictures here.

    I saw one of the pictures pop up in my New Messages feed. That looked like a wood block print all right. Samurai and a lady, but how old, reprint or really old, etc... no idea.

    Hey - I Need - do you know how to do a Google Image Search? I think we should try to find this image elsewhere on the web. I cannot find an artist in this genre with the name written on the back.

    An interesting find. I am not familiar with any "in the style of" wood blocks, but this sure is similar.

    Ah Toyokuni, all one word? Not the same dates written on the back.

    There was more than one. And this might be by someone else.

    I generally don’t use image search, for lack of skills, I found this otherwise, :cyclops:

    IMG_2373_40.jpg IMG_2374_40.jpg IMG_2375_40.jpg Would love to find someone who can translate these characters on the print.
    Many thanks for the refresher.

    Yes! I just learned from a Dec 8, 2020 post that this print was done by Kunisada who signed his name as Toyokuni III! Thanks, all. Will post the information on the other prints as soon as I see if any are different.

    Hats off to all!
