Subject:Can you identify this artist?

Can anyone identify this artist? I have two wood block prints of large flowers with this stamp on both.

That's the seal of the artist Kawarazaki Shodo, who designed nature prints for the publisher Unsodo.

Thank you!
These prints have very interesting frames. The back cover paper on the frame is loose and inside there are pieces of Japanese language newspapers.

Per Mark Kahn's site "Shin-Hanga Seal Finder"
this is the seal of Kawarazaki Shodo.

Active 1950-56 for Unsodo publishers, doing "Kacho" (bird and flower) prints.
