Kurikata Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Hello, Can someone translate the poem which is back the Kozuka? It is signed Masayuki. Is it Gimei ? Topic is Jurojin with his scroll, crane and tortoise. Thank your for your help. Bruno Quote

Curran Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Masayuki = alternately read 'Shozui'. Shozui being the founder of the Hamano School. Shozui..... was a very popular signature to fake. I've even owned a gimei Shozui f/k knowing it was such, because it was exceptional work where someone later added a 'Shozui' signature, since it was Hamano style. It was gimei, but a pleasure to own for a while and then sold as 'gimei'. Unless this kozuka is another separate Masayuki/Shozui working in a Nara derivative style, this one looks 100% gimei. I don't even need hit the Wakayama. There are certain quirks to the famous Shozui's signature that are missing from this example. I suck at poetry. One of the pros will need translate the poem. Quote
k morita Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Bruno, The inscription is not a poem. The inscription says "Copied from a picture(or a work) by Toshinaka/Toshinaga". 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Posted June 20, 2015 Morita San and Curran, Thank you so much for the information. Obviously Shozui/Masayuki being a "big name" I had no doubt on the potential gimei. I'll try to find the paint/scroll from Toshinaka which has inspired this kozuka design. Thank you again Bruno Quote
