Okay, on my old computer there was a bookmark for a great site that showed all the great woodblock print artists signatures and their publisher's seals. I can't find the site anywhere so if anyone has one. . .I'd be grateful. Here are the signatures if there is anyone out there that can help:
These two signatures are on one print:
This is on another:
This signature/seal appears on four of the prints. I believe it may be a series:
Here are quick pics of the prints. Sorry for the quality, but I did them in a hurry.
I haven't decided yet what to do with them. They were given to me a long time ago and I just came across them again. I may just keep them because they really are lovely. Still, I'd like to know more about them.

Thanks, hwahwa. I was on their site when I received your reply to my question. It is the site I used to have bookmarked.

Thanks, Ladyjewels! I'm still trying to find out about the set of four. I was through that other website and didn't find the signature anywhere. I'm afraid my membership to Gotheborg is expired and I don't want to spend the money to re-up it just for this.

This site tells you a lot about wood block prints, also how to know if its original, and what to watch for when buying on Ebay....maybe you will find some info that you could use to ID
your prints
