Hi everyone. I recently found several wonderful silkscreened prints from 1964-65. Luckily they are signed, but I can't make out the artist's name. They are all charmingly naive in style, very optimistic and yet childlike.
Any information on the name would be very welcome!

This is a work by Shuzo Ikeda, who signed his prints as "Shu Ikeda."

Shuzo Ikeda - artelino

Oh, I"m so glad to have this information! Thank you so much. It's fascinating to see his other work.

...and of course, they are woodblock prints, not silkscreened. I am learning more as I read his biography. Thanks again.

Title translation?

Would you be so kind as to translate what I think may be the title of this woodblock print? thanks!
