Please, I NEED HELP Identifying Japanese Painting Artist Signature and Title

1. Not a painting. A woodblock print.

2. Title: something like "autumn evening in the white mountain forests."

Artist's name seal: 横山隆雄－Japanese readers please translate

Could it be this artist? with google translate you can read it in english

Has anyone heard of Takao Yokoyama? I couldn't find anything on him on the next except the link from Mika.

Here's a fairly detailed bio entry for Yokoyama Takao (横山隆雄), the print-making artist, from a Japanese art annual online. There's more in an introduction at the website, but it doesn't translate very well by machine. The portion below took some massaging to make sense as well and further attention by Japanese scholars would be welcome. Link is included herewith.

Mika, you misunderstand me. I know what the characters MEAN. I am not sure how they are transliterated into sounds in Japanese as the Japanese language often has multiple pronunciations for a single character.

I was asking for someone with a greater understanding of Japanese and Japanese names to TRANSLITERATE the characters.
