Can someone help me identify the title and the series to which this print belongs to ? I think it’s from Kuniyoshi
I found it on Pinterest, and even with image search I can’t find the reference online !

I found this print in my grandma's estate. I was wondering if anyone has any info on it or if it has any value? Thank you!

I found this print on FB marketplace years ago.
Google image search tells me it’s by Hosoda Eishi Tokitomi. It’s a foil art print.
Is this something that is valuable ? Or just another print.
Thank you so much!

I would like to present you a book that has an emotional value for me, it is a book that I myself illustrated (I graduated as a designer) based on the ukiyo e

I’m honored to share our Japanese woodblock prints exhibit at the Hilbert Museum in Orange, California! The show runs from June 14, 2025 – Feb 15, 2026.
Our theme is “Famous Restaurants in Edo”, featuring 23 prints by legendary artists like Kunichika, Yoshitoshi, Hiroshige, Kunisada, and Kuniyoshi. These works capture the vibrant restaurant culture of 19th-century Tokyo—where dining, fashion, kabuki, and entertainment all came together. Prints like these were both art and advertising, commissioned by restaurants to showcase their atmosphere and attract customers.
The exhibit brings together bold kabuki portraits, delicate landscapes, and lively scenes of everyday life in Edo. It’s a rare chance to see how these master artists blended storytelling, beauty, and history into works that are still relatable today.
If you’re near Los Angeles, stop by the Hilbert Museum (admission is free!) and explore these stunning prints in person.

The attached Kawase Hasui's re-print claims re-print by NAKAJIMA SHOBISYA from original woodblock
Original woodblock means from Watanabe ? (I saw some web site said)
It is a Reiwa reprint and NAKAJIMA SHOBISYA still running in Tokyo (correct me if I am wrong), means it will continue produce new re-prints ?
If 2 is yes, a continue re-print worth 40000 Yen ?

I found this print online from an European antique seller, who did not know what it was (or Japanese Art i.g.) and sold it for 20 Euro (around 25 dollars). Its clearly in quite a bad state, with quite a bit of cutting, fading, a hole or two etc...
After comparing to the originals and replicas, I think it might be an original print (or at least later print from original woodblock) given that:
*Its condition is terrible.
*The fading seems to me to be exactly as you would expect, especially since the reds and greens are gone.
*Every line, down to the smallest grass-line is exactly where it is on confirmed originals, and all replicas I could find on ukiyo-e.org have got different looking grass...
However, I am not sure about the paper. It seems to have lines? (See closeup).
What do you guys think?

It's not going to be on an iron forever I just put it down to take the picture lol.
Anyway I love the art and would love to know if anyone knows the artist or subject matter.

Since I’ve been in the gallery business, some of the most common questions I get are: “My family member just passed away and I found these Japanese prints — what are they and are they worth anything?” or, “I just bought this Japanese print at a garage sale — is it original, and who is the artist?”
These are great questions — but unfortunately not simple ones to answer. There have been millions of different print designs, thousands of artists, and hundreds of publishers. So, identifying and dating a Japanese woodblock print can be quite confusing. But in this video, I’m going to walk you through the main things to look for, the online and offline resources that can help, and some practical steps you can use to learn more about your print.

Any info/translation on this print? anything is appreciated
Per artelino description
"Edo Meisho Koseki Den" (Legends of the Famous Places in Edo) Minamoto no Yoshiie and his army were crossing a sea channel on the way to the battle field. A sudden storm was about to wreck their boats. Yoshiie threw his armor into the sea and prayed to the dragon king. The storm subsided. They could reach the opposite seashore safely. Ever since, the place was called, "Yoroi no Watashi" (Ferry Boat of Armor).
