skipskip25 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Hi all just received this and trying to work through the characters. Any helpful information would be great thanks. Hopefully my pics are oriented correctly. Peter R. Quote
skipskip25 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 First character NA second YOSHI third KANA fourth MITSU Quote
SteveM Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 1. Yes 2. Yes, but wrong reading 3. No 4. Yes 2 Quote
skipskip25 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 How about NAGA or RYO for the second As for the third I’ve no clue I’ve found some that are close but KANA was the closest Quote
SteveM Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Hmm. You are so close I hesitate to give you the answer. The first two are the school of the artist. A rather important school of tōsōgu artisans. School + XXmitsu hint: Spoiler "Spring" 1 Quote
SteveM Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Judging from the picture it may be a gimei (false signature) because this school is known for very high quality works and I don't see that level of high quality in the picture posted. (No shade intended, but I know it sounds I'm dissing your kozuka). Quote
skipskip25 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 The pics are From the front camera and not very good. The rear camera is much better but I can’t upload them as they are over the size limit. Nanako is very small and much detail on the wasps wings and face. Absolutely no offense taken I appreciate your help .I’ll get back to looking for the right character THANKS so much for your help Quote
