Subject:Requesting Signature Translation
Posted By: Sarah McCracken Mon, Jul 15, 2019 IP: 2601:58c:407f:8520:f Would anyone be able to tell me the artist via signature? My uncle gifted this print to me. I am unable to ask him the 'where or who' about this artist as he has passed. He traveled frequently and I would love to know the artist. Thank you, Sarah |

Posted By: Sarah McCracken Tue, Jul 16, 2019 Thank you, I appreciate your help. Now I know it is likely from Japan. That is good. The print is framed and matted so I don’t want to open it. Thanks again. |

Posted By: Stan Tue, Jul 16, 2019 To add to I. Nagy's information, the Ryogoku Bridge is famous in Japanese woodblock prints. If you put "Japanese print Ryogoku bridge" into google you will see many prints of the bridge. Apparently, fireworks were launched from the bridge and a prime location from which to watch them was beneath the bridge. |

Posted By: Stan Thu, Jul 25, 2019 You don't give dimensions, but your print appears not to be a non-standard Japanese print size. My guess is that it was cut from a larger print. So, I looked for Ryogoku prints that it might have come from, but I came up empty. |
