I have been struggling to identify the artist and title of the triptych pictured here. There has been some suggestion that the artist is Eisai but I have had no luck confirming that. Any help with the artist and title would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
artist : Toshihide
Title 音聞天笠徳兵衛
see ezoshi.com/archives/2802 (note that prices of prints at Ezoshi tend to be incredibly high)
I forgot to translate the title : 天笠徳兵衛 means Tenjiku Tokubei, not sure what the first two kanjis mean
Thank you for the translation and identification. Even now knowing the artist I still have difficulty matching that signature to the name. I very much appreciate the help and the link to the other example.
To start, your triptych is beautiful
Seems like Kuniteru is not the only man with many signatures and seals.
Since you need to see to believe.... here is some evidence
Migita Toshihide 右田年英 and his other names

Yes, the signature is Gosai ga
Hope your convinced
I'm convinced! It is a lovely print and very reminiscent of Yoshitoshi's (Toshihide's teacher) half-length triptych portraits of actors. Sadly, the print is not mine. It belongs to a friend who asked for help identifying it.
Thank you for pointing me to the Gosai signatures. That was very helpful.
