Subject:Woodblock Print Identification
Posted By: Dennis A Tue, Nov 29, 2016 IP: 66.205.146.140

I don't know that much about woodblock prints and found several that I liked at an estate sale and the price seemed fair so I purchased them. Of the three this is my favorite - I think the red faced man is a buddhist deity and the other men are making an offering but I could be wrong. Any help in identifying the artist and timeframe would be great. i have searched online for signatures, stamps, etc. and have not found anything

Signed 'Yôshû Chikanobu' (楊洲周延).

See link below to the antoher copy with description in the National Library of Australia.

I took a quick look, but didn't find the artist. If you could blow up the signature in the lower left, it will help.

Cheers,
Stan
