PR4964 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Any help on this would be appreciated. Found on the bottom of a display tray for fittings. Cheers, Peter. Quote
Nobody Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 This is only my guess and there are several kanji I cannot actually decipher. 浅井良云ãƒx x å人也 – Asai 良云 (reading?) is good at xx (might be Uo-zukushi (éšå°½???)). è‰¯å¯›é–€äººæ±Ÿæˆ¸å››ãƒ„è°·ä½ â€“ a pupil of Ryokan, lived in Yotsuya, Edo 享和年間人(?) – Kyowa era Notes: 浅井良云 is an early name of 岩本昆寛 (Iwamoto Konkan) of Iwamoto school.

Markus Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 I think the missing xx might read just "sakana-bori" (éšå½«), i.e. "is good at carving fish [motifs]" Sorry for poking my nose into everything Quote
Nobody Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 I think the missing xx might read just "sakana-bori" (éšå½«), i.e. "is good at carving fish [motifs]" Thanks, I agree with you. Quote
Brian Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Sorry for poking my nose into everything Markus, don't be sorry for helping out. If that was the case, I wish more people would "poke their noses into everything" :D Thanks, Brian Quote
k morita Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Hi, Oh no!!! The Kanji is NOT "sakana-bori" (éšå½«). Correct reading is "GyoRui" (éšé¡ž). Quote
Markus Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Ah, enlightenment on this case! Thank you for the final correction. å´©å—ã®é”人 訂æ£ã«ã‚ã‚ŠãŒã¨ã†ã”ã–ã„ã¾ã—ãŸã€‚ Quote
John A Stuart Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Hi, This éšé¡ž means 'fish family'? Refering to what? I see no fish on the fuchigashira. John Quote
PR4964 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Posted October 3, 2008 The fish theme is consistant with the contents of the display box and also that of Iwamoto Konkan. It was one of his favourite subjects. Page 141 of "Lethal elegance" shows the fuchi kashira in clearer detail. I wish I owned this set but alas not to be. Quote
k morita Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Hi John, Yes, GyoRui(éšé¡ž) means fish family or fishes. So, the meaning of this paper is: "Asai Ryoun is an expert who carves fishes. (He was )a pupil of Ryokan, lived in Yotsuya, Edo. (He worked)Kyowa period in Edo era." Hi, PR4964 Thank you for your Great close up photos!!! Quote
John A Stuart Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Thank you, It makes sense now. John Quote
