[Ted Tenold]

Anyone care to have go at this one? Very odd residence name, and the closest I can derive for the second kanji of the smith name is "hisa"??

Could the missing kanji be 芍?

[John A Stuart]

I was thinking more like 呀, but, 正呀 ?? Masaka ?? John

Hi Morita san, can you tell me how this would be pronounced (or written in romaji)... 西 肥 Nishihi?

I think that its preferred reading is Saihi.

西肥住正明作

Se(sai)hi (no) ju MasaAKI saku

 

月 of 明 is characteristic, same as 月 of 肥

 

What do you think ?

[John A Stuart]

Yes, I think you are right. Very logical. John

[Ted Tenold]

Thank you one and all! I read Seihi and based on the second kanji thought it might be in the Saga or Kumamoto areas, but wanted confirmation. The aki kanji was a mystery though, so thank you again for your help.
