ancientnoob Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I have an old wood block print book I believe to be dated Kei-0. (1868) I was wondering if any folks here could share any info onthe gentleman that produced it. I gather that the subject is Nihon-to and I believe many of the swords listed in it are Koto Period. I see alot of Rai Kuni(somthing.) I also see Kane(something) I Japanese is the equivalent of a pre-k student and thus helps none. The text seems to be in a cursive type script. I do not expect a complete translation of the book but I have several of this set on Samurai, Swords, Pottery, Coins and stamp signatures. Apparently produced by the same person with the same type of cover and binding. Any info would be totally appreciated. The Cover... Some Pages... Thanks All. Quote
echizento Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I believe the signature is Kuniteru, Kuniteru II 1829-1874, print artist and student of Kunisada. Signature reads Kuniteru gwa (drawn). Quote

echizento Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I don't know of any reference material related to him. He wasn't like his teacher which has tons on references. Quote
