Spartancrest Posted March 10, 2023 Report Posted March 10, 2023 Shoami is the common spelling in English but k morita might have a better handle on pronunciation? A pretty common theme of a waterfall on one side, mountains in the distance with little touches of gold like dandelion puffs - signed in full both sides of the hitsu some not signed at all and a few like yours only part of the full name, sometimes with the second part deliberately erased. The shape varies through all the major forms, but Maru is the most common. This is one of mine Tachi-mokkō-gata (太刀木瓜形) You will notice the style of signature is very different, there were many artists signing "Shoami". I think mine translates as "Honami" so it could be a homage? 2 Quote
