David,
THe Gakutei surimono is from the series "Twenty-Four Japanese Paragons of Filial Piety for the Honch� Circle" (Honch�ren honch� nij�shik�), subject: Satsuma Fuku no Uri Buntoku Jitsuroku, ca 1820, signed Gakutei and sealed Sadaoka.
The copy in the Harvard Art Museum (former Fogg Art Museum) is an original, with a hand stamped red seal after the signature. There is also a "Copy A" edition with the seal printed after the signature. Question remains if your print bears a hand stamped seal or not. You have to compare also both prints very closely to see if there are notable distinctions between the keys blocks.
I did not identify the red seal on the two other surimono, but i'll keep my eyes open.
Guy.
