At the listing I have not researched the artist signatures, so offer them with this knowledge. These are not common, and each one appears to be created by a distinctive, skilled and talented artist. They are also all in need of care and restoration, some apparently were trimmed a bit, some having been affected by silverfish (they are all clean now, having been rescued from poor framing and storage). Please look to see the light spots in some of them which are the gnawed holes caused by these insects. I believe there is a following and enthusiasm for these 5, with collectors understanding that restoration can be accomplished, or that flaws can be acceptable when a print is viewed as special. This example has damage to the lower right corner, losses on one edge, and appears to have been trimmed at the bottom and one edge. There are a couple insect pathways on the left lower edge. It should be noted that these holes are hidden/disguised when there is backing behind the paper. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”. The seller is “saganguy” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
