The old and rotting mat that was on gravyurke the reverse side was written in pencil "Fire Tiger" (?), K. Hokkusay, and the stamp of the old Soviet kommisionki ...

It is quite possible. Hokusai illustrated with the author of numerous books and engravings done skillfully, so that may well be his work. Fire - very similar, I had this version of the first character seems to he in some exotic old spelling.
Well, as you all know and is

Oh yeah, forgot to rate.
It is difficult to estimate an engraving from the book, they usually do not represent investment value, unlike the books entirely.
Here's a link to throw the book Hokusai on eBay, the auction next week is over, and find out how much is sold a book of 58 pages.

I think high prices will leave it (although the state is not very good), but less than $ 1000 dollars. And then, in principle it can be divided into sheets and sold as separate prints for interior decoration
