Hello Group,

I would appreciate some help with this Mei.  I have been looking online and in books. The first kanji looks like "HIZEN", the second maybe "KUNI"?

Thanks in advance for the time and help.

 

Kind regards,

Dear Jeff.

 

What is visible would be Hizen no Kuni ju Tada......  with a good chance that the last kanji would be yoshi though looking at the shape of the rust pit another option might be hiro for that last one.  Personally I think yoshi.

 

That is what it reads but there is quite a possibility of it being gimei.

 

All the best.
