a deluxe impression from 1858 published by Ebisuya Shōshichi

Took me about 3 days to make.

Got this at an auction, it was advertised as unidentified. The only image match I was able to trace down was here: http://www.kaminokura.co.jp/p/item-detail/detail/i6349.html (so apparently it's Toyokuni III), but I would really appreciate more info - both AI and my Japanese tutor weren't able to help in deciphering the name plaques.

UPD: upon closer inspection of the photo in the link and my print it turns out that the print in the link is the print I have. Look at the hole on the leftmost character's neck and the one in the upper middle of the sheet.

from the series Hana Moyō (花模様, "Flower Patterns") - 1896

I recently bought this small print at an auction. Can't tell how old it is or make out a artist specifically. Also don't even know if it is a proper ukiyo-e. Any info would be appreciated.

Just cross posting this to get help with conservation and who to contact about what to do next with it.

I have had this for around a decade, and I am moving into an RV where the climate is not controlled, prone to moisture and would likely kill it. Where would be the best resource for finding it a new, good home? I’m in a time crunch as we are moving in 2 weeks and it’s currently sitting in my garage in a “What do we do with it?” bin.

A rainy night, a glowing noodle stand, and one of my favorite modern Japanese woodblock prints.

Tomikichiro Tokuriki's Noodle Shop on a Rainy Night (1951) beautifully captures the quiet atmosphere of a traditional yatai street food stall. Even more fascinating, the print exists in two versions—one with customers wearing traditional kimono for the Japanese market, and another with Western clothing for export.

Acquired this print “Shinjuku at night” by Yoshida Toshi from a gallery in Tokio. They told me that this was printed 1938 and is signed by the artist. I do have doubts this is true, any ways to authenticate or any views on this?

I am in the process of framing a print and wanted to know if there is a customary/typical way of framing a print that has kanji lettering outside of the print as shown in the attached pic. Should the kanji be visible or covered by the matt board? Is there a right or wrong way to frame this piece? Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!

So there is this painting by Degas "beach scene" (il bains de mer) which shows a girl getting her hair combed by a maid. I am sure that I saw an Ukiyo-e print which depicted a similar pose to the girls pose but I cant find it (idk the name nor artist). Has anybody maybe seen sth similar?

Degas was a big Japan enthusiast and took the hair combing motif from japanese prints, so its possible that he had an inspiration for the pose.

Thank you for any help that i can get! <3

This is a reprint of one of the most famous Japanese prints ever designed by the mysterious artist Toshusai Sharaku. The original, created in 1794, sold at a Christie's auction for $277,000.

The print shows the kabuki actor Ichikawa Komazō III playing the villain Shiga Daishichi in the play A Medley of Tales of Revenge. The story follows two sisters seeking revenge for the murder of their father. Here, Sharaku captures the tense moment just before Daishichi draws his sword to commit that murder.

This woodblock print [right] was identified here on reddit as created by Tosa Mitsuoki:

(土佐 光起; November 21, 1617 –November 14, 1691) .

It's a scene from Genji Monogatari: utsusemi. It looks pretty old. A recent reprint was found [left]. I would think from different blocks. The seals are different: positive vs negative. Searching internet only reprints were found. Would the old print be 17th Century? No other old prints by Tosa Mitsuoki from Genji or otherwise, nor old booklets, to be found on internet.

Please help finding similar work by Tosa Mitsuoki.

Please identify this ukiyoe sketch. Also some paper pieces are glued over parts of the sketch to redo some areas. Sorry for the reflection left of the face

My partners mom bought this for her at an antique store 20 years ago. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the characters, the narrative, or anything interesting about it.
