So, before I go spend a ton of time on this project: does anyone know of a site which is geared towards allowing novices to decipher the (hand-written) names of actors in prints?
I know of Kabuki21, and of Horst's list of actors shown in Toyokuni III prints, but I'm looking more for a site which is oriented towards helping novices work out the actors' names, for example by using scans of actual characters from prints (since handwritten characters often bear, to the novice, only a faint resemblence to printed ones).
