The most important is a piece by kiyomasu which I have identified as a woodblock listed in the "Art institute of Chicago" book on Ukiyo-e prints. This is the actual woodblock used to make this print and it is my hopes to verify without a doubt that this is in fact absolutely authentic. I have taken it to a Asian Art Curator at the museum here in Portland and she believes there is a very good chance that it is in deed a very rare piece and authentic. I know it takes painstaking analysis to make a positive verification and would like to find someone to help me in my quest. This is an oversized block by Kiyomasu 22x11 approx. and was from the early 1700s of two actors portraying a female samurai and her maiden attendant readying her for battle. It's an amazing piece and merits the energy and expertise of a scholar of the Japanese ukiyo-e historical period.
