Well done ! Yes, there it is ) Now that I know the series (Zenaku ko no Tegashiwa) I should be able to find more. I did find a few more examples but they all seem to have been cut to 9" x 7" (unless they originally printed in this small format) where I have two larger sheets that contain two 9" x 7" picutres on each sheet (seems to be originally published in this format and not stuck together afterwards). Please see extra pics to see what I mean). Thanks for all your help, I have struggled with kanji books/woodblock books for a while and made no progress, but now feel I am getting somewhere ! Cheers, Anthony

I think thats him ! Seems he used a few different kanji to sign his name, apparently this one is read Oju Ginko but seems that is a rare version. Looks like he did heaps of work so value must be down a bit......... Thanks a lot, the prints I have consist of 2 pictures per frame and I have not seen that style from him on the internet so there may be still hope it is a rare (valuable) version. Hoping to sell them to save some coin for sword purchase..... :D Any additional information also appreciated, Cheers Anthony

Hi guys, I have this old woodblock print that I picked up at an auction about 20 years ago. I have searched several books to try and find out who/what/when but no luck. I could only find that it was "commissioned by" so it may have been a special order. Also on the left seems to be a date of Meiji 18 which I worked out as 1886 (I think) but would this be the publish date or the date the scene depicts? There is a nice scene in it where one guy is showing the other his sword Any advice or assistance appreciated, Thanks and regards Anthony

Now I see the situation, yes the guy selling with zero feedback is definately dogey.........it seems there may have been genuine bidders to about $175 then his mates took over to try and suckker others in.............. thanks for clearing that up, Anthony

Hi guys, I have been following this with interest. How do these sellers continiue to maintain their good feedback? From other sales from this seller (I assume that the last link is to the seller that is suspect) someone paid over $5,000 for a sword and was happy.............whats is going on here or did I click thru to the genuine seller? Cheers Anthony
