Subject:Japanese and Chinese Wood Block Print Painting?
Posted By: vivien Sun, Apr 22, 2018 IP: 2600:1012:b14b:6250:
Hello All. Thank you for your help. This seems like an interesting Japanese print, but what are these Chinese looking seals on the print? Any identification of the creator, period, and translation of text would be appreciated. Plus why do the seals appear to be Chinese? A mystery....thanks....
