I acquired this print second-hand, but I don't know much about it. I suspect it's a Japanese woodcut. Each color seems to be impressed into the paper slightly. Could you tell me what the writing says, and anything else you might know about it? Any information would be helpful.

It's a Japanese woodblok print by Ogata Gekko (1859-1920) from the series 'Gishi Shiju-Shichi Zu' - print #7 'Sugino Juheiji Tsugifusa', (first) published in 1895.

Whoah! Yay! Any guesses about which edition I have? I did some Googling, and it looks like the red cartouche thing under Gekko's name changed periodically. Is it a date? I found 2 versions of my print in museums online, but one was printed in 1895 and one in 1902.
Thank you so much for your help!

Probably the early edition but I'm not sure.
Please contact Ogata Gekko.net (http://www.ogatagekko.net/Feedback.html) and you'll get a more conclusive answer from David.
