Japanese woodblock prints. I can sometimes recognize the seals that tell the artist and publisher but not thee. Someone will come along that can read those for you.

I found it using the search by image function on the wonderful Ukiyo-e.org website, an invaluable resource.

 

It is this print:

Please note that I chose copies of this woodblock print held by the British Museum for identification purposes, but when you go to the website yourself you will see copies held by various institutions and it is alway interesting to compare the differences in color and so on among the prints / editions.

The artist is Hiroshige and it looks like a modern print. Next time post your pics right side up and include a pic of the back. You can search "completed items" for a Hiroshige modern woodblock print for value. I don't know the title but odds are someone else has the same print for sale to get that info. Chris.
