Sansui Kakejiku Mei

[DirkO]

Hi,

Can't really read this one.... 華缶 Hanakan? Do I have the kanji correct? Is there anyone who knows something about this artist? Any help greatly appreciated!

 

[John A Stuart]

Maybe, 萃岳 Suitake or Suigaku, reading (?) John

[DirkO]

Thanks for the help with the kanji John! I also think Suitake would be the most probable reading.

Thanks Morita-san and Malcom,

However, I don't assume my "Kagaku" 華 岳 + kao is the same person. It's a nice Sansui kakejiku and the reading is correct  - but although I bought it roughly 10 years ago, the kao doesn't match? The mei does seem to match this one though:

Here's a very old picture of mine (currently at work, so can't take a new one)
