I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the date on a Hiroshi Yoshida print. I know finer prints usually have the jizuri seal, and this one doesn't. It does have his signature on the print itself (ink and red stamp), and the title and signature in pencil in the bottom margin. I understand that posthumous editions would have had a simulated pencil signature, but was the seal and signature on the image itself ever duplicated in these? Also, where the jizuri seal would normally be I've found a different one, a kanji inside a square border which I haven't been able to locate or identify.
Obviously, I'm new at this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
