I found two small, framed Japanese woodblocks yesterday. This one shows a geisha holding her parasol in one hand and her other hand on one of the handles of two hidden swords - under her kimono. I'd love to know what the writing means or any other details. The image is approx. 7 inches by 4.25 inches.

i don,t know a samurai with wagasa , i thought it was Kunisada Utagawa, but it aint
role play maybe nitta yoshida, i just don,t know
Another great find. Maybe a kabuki actor?
yes, i think that this is a Kabuki actor. I think it is Utagawa Kunisada. It's just too similar to his work. Even the border is the same as the border of others i've seen by him. ditto for the expression on the actor's face and the way the kimono was painted and the lightning strike background too.
i Nagy from asian art forum has to do this, it does, not make sense for an koi zumo yawaragi soga unless they modified it ? i don,t know
do you think it could be ?gonsui daijin sakazuki, written by Tamenaga Shunsui? Something by Tamenaga Shunsui, i think.
sorry i just don,t know and actually i put real effort in this, i don,t know this from the Kinokuniya Bunzaemon. and i don,t know this from the Shunshoku umegoyomi either to be honest,
no problem apostata! i really appreciate the effort.
the pont is the the database 108000 pieces and i am bad in kanji, but if i think it is real good i track it down to 2075 if i have to i have to till i find it , you got an consolation , because your other litho is at least 4 figures and not the skinniest 4 figures, i bet my house on it to be honest
wow! thank you apostata. i thought that this looks just like the ones i saw online listed as Edo and early Edo.
no i mean the listed 8 years old one the cats
There's this guy David Bull on YT that may know who the artist and the subject are. He is an English guy who lives in Tokio and has an ukiyo-e shop. You may try to contact him. Here's his website https://mokuhankan.com/index.php
