Posted By: Stan Fri, Nov 01, 2019 This looks like a scroll that is composed of the pages of an ehon (book). I have something similar. See the link below. If you blow up some of the individual pages, someone here may be able to provide more information. |

Posted By: manuD Sat, Nov 02, 2019 I'm not sure these are pages from an ehon, I would rather assume they were small prints, Surimono size, that were mounted on a scroll. the artists might be Sōri (宗理) who also signs with a red round seal, and Hokumei (北溟), perhaps among others. These are tentative identifications, since the signatures are barely visible. |

Posted By: manuD Tue, Nov 05, 2019 These are all indeed surimonos. They can be found in museum collections posted online, mostly at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Some of them mention that the prints are reproductions. I list them in the order in which you posted them, with artist and title (from MFA). Only #2 could not be found (the seals are illegible). |

Posted By: Guy Wed, Nov 06, 2019 These surimono of the Group C type are facsimile copies of Edo period originals, issued during Taisho period. They were made for foreigners and originally sold in wrappers, containing to 50 prints. The date on the storage box is Taisho 15 or 1926; the prints must have been new when pasted to the scroll and presented as a gift. |
