I have 3 prints of birds (crows, cranes, & songbirds-?) dated Meiji 16 (1884?), published by Okumura Magobei, "Series of Flowers and Birds". Can anyone help identify the artist? Based on inexpert reading, signature may include: (1) Yukata, Yukino, Kono, or Koya; (2) Sadahino ?.
There is an Art Noveau-type border around the oban-size prints which include:
crows with tiger lillies, cranes with morning glories, and plover? with peony? and full moon.
Also, any indication of value whould be appreciated.
