PietroParis Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 Hi, Usually the author’s name and seal (within the image) and the title (on the right margin) are part of the woodblocks, so they are just as “legit” as the print as a whole. What you might want to determine is whether this is an early or late printing, and whether it is from the original blocks or from recarved ones. The editor seals (which are added after printing) may provide some help on this. Cheers, Pietro Quote
