Description

2 Japanese woodblock prints behind glass sealed with paper. Behind is a paper triangle with perforation for hanging and a string attached. Picture of a roadside scene vantage from the hills looking down. Below is a restaurant?/tea house?/inn? behind is a bay/cay/cove. No obvious landmark or recognizable scene from his popular works. Second is non-signed work appears to be the same artist but different vantage point.

Can anyone give me an appraisal or a valuation on what appears to be two Ando Hiroshige woodblock prints?

Just found out this was Hiroshige's Teahouse at Ise Province from "60 odd provinces" Someone cut the original Oban into two. I don't know if this is now worthless. Can anyone help?
