The website of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco reads this artist's name as Sengai (in romanization only). The impression at the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts includes an intact left margin with the publication information, including the name of publisher Fukuda Hatsujirô.
The catalogue of the Meiji University Museum, Criminal Materials Section, lists the print as #240 and dates in to March 1904, but does not give the second character of the signature.
