Nanrei ?

This print came into my possession around fifteen years ago, it is framed and looks pretty fragile. 

My research, such as it is, shows the signature as 'Nanrei' art name of Nishiigawa Sukenshu, published by Morita of Osaka C1758, from the series Heigo waka ehon kamu-no-yamu (Poems by Samurai, nobles and ladies). It would be a great help if any out there could confirm or deny my findings. Please click on the image for a larger picture.

I would to thank both Hans Olaf Johansson & John Fiorillo for their assistance with my quest re Sharaku.
