<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4531755, member: 8267&quot;]The original images are by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), but Japanese woodblock prints have frequently been reproduced in Japan and elsewhere. The original blocks could be reused in later editions, new blocks could be carved with the same images, and more modern reproduction methods have also been used. It can be quite complex to sort out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gihachiro Okuyama was a 20th century artist (1907-1981), with a more contemporary style. It may be that he made these copies of Hiroshige&#039;s images. But you may need to find a specialist in Japanese wood block prints, also called &quot;ukiyo-e&quot;, to tell you what you have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
