I recently picked up a 1972 copy of Tosho Zenshu Shinto Hen, and folded neatly inside the pages was an original oshigata, on very fine rubbing paper (what is the name for that stuff?)

 

Have put my findings under spoilers in case anyone wants to have an un-influenced go at it

 

I found the mei difficult to read but did recognise the characters within the mei.

"HOSOKAWA" ç´°å·

　

 

Curiosity fuelled, I did some reading and decided that this was oshigata of

MASAYOSHI

 

2nd gen, who signed this way...

 

作陽幕下士細å·æ­£ç¾©ä½œ

 

 

However I am having trouble with the last two characters. I am thinking it is

something KORE ?之

 

 

Anyway interesting little find this tucked away in a moth eaten old book! I take it was a westerner who did this.... Anyone the originator of this Oshigata?

 

Cheers!
