It's a Japanese woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) from the series 'Mitate tai zukushi' (A collection of desires), issued by the publishers Inoue Mohei/Funazu Chûjirô between 12/1877 and 1/1878.


Your print is an edition with a solid coloured title cartouche.

Thank you very much.

How many prints have been made?

There is a first serie with coloured block and this second one with grey block.

The serie 'collection of desires' contains 20 different prints. I have 3.

Best rgds, Joe
