Subject:Gosho ningyo wood block print Japan help with signature
Posted By: Judith Alexander Thu, May 07, 2015 IP: 72.196.116.90
I know this wood block print of Japanese royal dolls is from early to mid 20th century and the wood block carver was Maeda Yujiro, does anyone know the name of the artist? Thanks.

His name(Maeda Yujiro,前田雄次郎) appears on The name list of cavers.
According to this book,he has died in 1932.

Yes, thank you for that information. Do you know what the signature on the front of the print says, though? I don't think it is the same name, or is it? Thanks.

The signature reads Yujiro (雄次郎),and the stamp says Maeda (前田).
