Also, if you look at:
Roger S. Keyes, "Japanese Woodblock Prints: A Caalogue of the Mary A.
Ainsworth Collection", Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin, 1984
it has a lengthy appendix entitled "Identification of Traditional Organic
Colorants Employed in Japanese Prints" which also has some information that
might be useful.
