Posted By: Stan Mon, Feb 02, 2015 What you have are copies of Japanese woodblock prints. The first 2 are by Katsushika Hokusai and are Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tôkaidô (Tôkaidô Ejiri Tago-no-ura ryakuzu) and Umezawa Manor in Sagami Province (Sôshû umezawa hidari [=zai?]), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjûrokkei) respectively. To see originals at the Boston MFA, copy and paste the links below into your browser: |

Posted By: shawn Tue, Feb 03, 2015 thank you very much for the reply stan. i had no idea what the characters meant or anything about them. they were framed or reframed in the late 60s according to the custom back on the frame, but as far as an actual age, i have no clue. would you have any idea of a value? its ok if you dont. i wasnt expecting any replies about them at all so yours was an unexpected pleasant surprise. thanks again. |

Posted By: Stan Wed, Feb 04, 2015 Your last picture appears to be of the Heian-jingu Shrine. I was expecting it to be from a print by Hasui, but it appears I was wrong (or at least I can't prove I was right). See the link below. |
