This one is signed K Kaga. The other two have different signatures. The one I have is the same image as the one they had for sale but you can deffinately see differences in the scene and the signature so they were both hand painted.

Could it be a printing plate for an illustration in a book?

I have these three plates that I thought were modern junk. I know my parents have one or more just like this with a similair scene. The plates were made for hanging they have two hole thru the bottom. There are no makers mark so I used the artist signature to look one up. I found an online add for one of the plates I have and they claim it is 19th century. I still think its modern. What do you think?

I never noticed before but I do see what you mean by the drama in the lacquers. I was more comparing sizes and prices and not really comparing the paintings themselves. Thanks for clearing that part up for me mart. I would still like to know what medium was used for these paintings. Any suggestions?
