old woodblock print and foo dog netsuke - 08-09-2010, 07:11 PM

I found this old woodblock print last week. I know I've seen that little boy warrior character before but can't remember who he is. As I remember, he came to Japan through Chinese mythology, but I could be mistaken. And what's the story here with the battle axe banner?

Also, does anyone know who the artist might be?

Also, this ivory netsuke I've had for a long time. The only foo dog I've ever seen that seems to be cowering. I believe the name on the bottom translates as "three fields." (It's three horizontal bars and a square with cross inside that looks like a four-paned window.)

Is this artist a somebody or a nobody?

Thanks.
