Kurikata Posted June 14, 2019 Report Posted June 14, 2019 Hi, I have purchased this kozuka with a Kashima dori design. Can someone help me in translating the first kanji? I think second one is "Yoshi". Thank you for your help. Bruno 2 Quote

SteveM Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 Has me stumped. I thought it might be 寿 (壽), but it seems to be kusa-kanmuri (grass radical) so that rules out 寿. Nice-looking item, though. 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Posted June 16, 2019 and why not Tomo Yoshi (友義)?Several Tosogu artists had this name. Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Bruno, Unusual that this crew is stumped! At any rate, this is a very fine looking piece, nice katakiribori, shibuichi with shakudo and suaka inlay and gilding. Looks like the work of a good maker. -S- 2 Quote
Kurikata Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Posted June 17, 2019 Thank you all of you for you efforts. Morita San once again you are saving my life! Quote
Kurikata Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Posted June 17, 2019 From very first researches, I think artist name is Ichinomya Nagayoshi (一宮長義). Kao on Shosankenshu from Henry L. Joly's fully fits mine. Quote
