Hello--- picked up this older print (would that be proper term for it?). It has Asian writing of some sort next to the horse and then off to the side it is stamped with some sort of writing as well. Can anyone tell me what I have and what this says ?
Thanks so much!

Great catch, Janet.
Evidently Sonan Noda's "thing" is horses:

thanks so much! now I'm going to ask an even dumber question but how does an image search work ? Do you just go into google and insert a copy of the photo in there or what?

Just some additional information that you may find helpful: the print features in this catalogue, issued by the Japanese firm Kyoto Hanga-In (see Pages 10 and 11):

The catalogue dates from around 1952-53:

That link helpfully provides the name of the Kyoto Hanga-In company in Japanese:
京都版画院
I'm pretty sure the text in red at the right of the print includes these characters.

And if Janet's instructions don't work for you, because you don't use a MS Windows OS, don't have a Google account, don't have an app on a phone, or whatever, you can still do a Google image search.
Go to the Google main page:
Click on "Images" in the upper right. A new page will come up, with a new search bar:
https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi
Click on the little camera icon for "Search By Image" and follow the prompts.
