From the pix you sent:

The first print above was printed in 1843-46.

The second print was printed in 1860. The Boston MFA has 9 prints from the same series as yours: Comparisons of Lovers, a Collection of Ballads (Koi awase, hauta-zukushi) but not your particular print.

Here is an example of one of the MFA prints:
