Subject:Signature on Japanese watercolor?
Posted By: Jim Thu, Apr 21, 2016 IP: 24.11.220.12

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could decipher the signature on this small Japanese watercolor.
Thanks!

This is not a watercolor painting. Rather, it is a Japanese woodblock print. The signature and style of work point to Yoshimoto Gesso as the artist/designer, but because the signature is a bit different from his normal form, I can't attribute the print to him with 100% certainty.

There is another copy of this print documented online at http://readercollection.fotki.com/prints-japanese-flo/prints-japanese-flo/gesso-yoshimoto-p2049.html
