The beautiful woodblock print "Senbongui - Ryogokubashi" (The Thousand piles by the Ryogoku Bridge) is by Kiyochika Kobayashi (1847-1915). This is a re-carved edition originally printed in 1880. The print was published by Maria Shobo in 1976. The character "マ"(Ma) from "Maria Shobo" appears just below the box on the lower right margin. It is signed on the lower right of the image, with the title on the bottom margin, the date "Meiji 13 nen" (1880), the original publisher's name "Kumajiro Fukuda," and the artist's name "Kiyochika Kobayashi" on the right margin. Amazing bokashi shading and a wonderful composition.
