Very nice! (And I do not say that often when people post art pieces here looking for information.)

The artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you very much. So, both prints are made from same artist, corect? Thank you one more time. One more thing to let you know is that are original framed in Hong Kong.

Right, same artist.

I would not worry too much about where they were framed. Within Japan, Kuniyoshi's acclaim came mostly after his death, resulting in the outflow of many of his works from Japan.

This is not to promise, though, that what you own is from the original "first" batch. Unlike paintings where there is only one original, prints are numerous.
