<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4726712, member: 110350"]I've tried the acsearch image search function a couple of times, and got nothing. Interestingly, <a href="https://ukiyo-e.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ukiyo-e.org/" rel="nofollow">https://ukiyo-e.org/</a> has an image search tool that allows you to try to find image matches for Japanese woodblock prints (which I used to collect very actively) in their 220,000+-print database. I've used it many times to try to figure out who the artist is, and to identify the print itself, and have been remarkably successful. I suspect the difference is that except for the coloring and possible cropping of the edges, any two copies of a given Japanese print should be identical. Whereas even when there's a double die match, two ancient coins of a given type can look much more different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
