I have a set of three Japanese prints which have been placed together in a single frame. Each of the prints measure 35.5x17cm (landscape) However, on close inspection, each of the prints appear to be in three panels each measuring approximatly 12x17cm.
All of the prints shown multiple people, mainly female,in various states from full dress to naked in a bath house
The first two prints are attributed to Yashiiku(1815-1880)about whom I can find nothing. The third print is attributed Kunichika.
What's interesting is that the figures, to a layman's eye, appear to very similar in all three drawings.
Questions are:
Who was Yashiiku and who did he study under?
Can any one identify any of the prints?
Thanks for your help.
