One of my pickers got this empty album at garage sale from vets family who state vet was stationed in Japan in the 1950's. I love the artwork on cover but can someone translate please?

That's a facsimilie of a print by the famous wood-block printer Utamaro Kitagawa.
It is part of a group called "Anthology of Poems"
歌撰恋之部 逢恋
Kasen Koi no Bu Au Koi
Anthology of Poems: The Love Section "Love That Meets"
This particular image of that anthology is "Love that Meets"
逢恋
Au Koi
His signature is at the bottom:
歌麿 喜多川
Utamaro Kitagawa
Here's a clearer image of the print:
