Nihonto Chicken Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Years ago I purchased a nicely framed repro print of "Red Fuji" (Fine Wind, Clear Morning). I'd be interested if anyone might be able (without a lot of effort) to identify the maker and period of the print as indicated by the seals below. Please ignore my shadow cast on the print. TIA for any enlightenment! Quote
SteveM Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 The writing in the white box says "富嶽三十六景" (Thirty Six Views of Fugaku/Fuji), as well as the name of this print, which is listed as #2 in the series in the wikipedia entry. The other line (outside the box) is the artist's name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-six_Views_of_Mount_Fuji Sometimes there is a printer's mark or cartouche on the margin of the print that points to a time frame. It would be tough to tell the printer just from looking at the print. Quote
Nihonto Chicken Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks for the info. Given the numerous remakes of this iconic print, I guess there's not much chance of dating this one. Whatever, a favorite of mine. Thanks again. Quote
