I’m an absolute novice with prints, and the usual image searches didn’t turn up any info/matches for this one. I’d appreciate any info anyone can provide.
Inset:
The print is 9 x 6.5 inches with a vertical crease down the middle as if taken from a book.
Appears to have kirazuri in the blue color.
Thanks!
It is indeed taken from a book. The title is 原氏五十四怙 Book of the 54 chapters of Genji, 廿三 [chapter] 23
artist : Utagawa Yoshiiku
Publisher : Yorozuya Magobei
date (according to Marks) 1870-71

Thanks so much, that's very helpful! A good reason to reread that portion of Tale of Genji.
