Ukiyo-e Signature Sample Database

As an aid to my own research and cross-referencing projects, I have assembled several indicies to existing reference materials. Since they have been useful to me, I figure they may be useful to others as well.

Indicies to copyrighted works are intended not as substitutes for the underlying works, but rather to complement them by providing easily-searched tables of key text elements.
