    I believe that I have a Japanese woodblock print. Was wondering if anyone might be able to confirm this and translate the symbols on it. This measures 11 1/4" by 16 3/4". This is on an older rag type paper. Thanks

    I believe it is a block print by Kitagawa Utamaro. Since he worked in the 18th century, it is obviously a reprint. I have not identified what the title is as of yet but am still working on it.
