Subject:Multiple Artist Woodblock: Signatures? 3 of 4
Posted By: J. Boussinesq Sun, Mar 24, 2019 IP: 129.74.113.194

Hello All,

I have a Japanese woodblock uchiwa fan album that has several group pictures by well-kown Kyoto artists. The prints are probably late Meiji, judging by who is included, but I can't date it better than that. Although some of the artists were easy to identify, I am having difficulty with some of the others. The prints are shown with enlarged signature blocks and numbering for each portion of the print. Any help by the group here to identify these unknown artists would be greatly appreciated.

1. ?
2. Baisen Hirai?

Correction,
1, 竹外  - Chikugai - Himejima Chikugai 姫島竹外 
is the right artist
