    Thanks to everyone for the help. I cut each panel out and image search got a hit on all 3 but still no info. I have a question out to the Q&A of Ukiyo-e

    Do you know how to post images to the ukiyo-e.org site so they are embedded and hosted on their site? There is an option image URL link when you post but if I use an external host the images aren't embedded. I notice most peoples images are hosted on their server data.ukiyo-e.org.

    No, sorry. You will have to communicate with them on that.

    Update...It is weird because I have the exact 3 panels that is in the database and in the catalog so although there might be other panels with the info, all 3 of us have only those 3 panels.

    This one is tough because there's no signature, no publisher seal, and no censor or date seal. It's quite odd to see a design like this without any of those things; I don't know what to make of that. Possibly it means the original design had more sheets and the "missing" info was on one of those other sheets, but that's just a guess.

    Anyway, I did find an impression of this in a Mizui Hanga catalog; it is listed as "artist unknown", published 1850s. The format is certainly consistent with the work of Kuniyoshi or his students from that period, but I couldn't hazard a more specific attribution.

    Have a look at catalog item 251 (楠正行四条縄手合):

    Good luck,
