Do you read Fukuda Toshimasa?

[Kurikata]

Hi Japanese mei experts,

 

I may be wrong but I read Fukuda Toshimasa. Is it right?

 

Thank you

Hi Bruno,

I’m not sure about the “da” otherwise I agree with you. Nothing coming up on a Google of Fukuda or anything similar in terms of kanji with the enclosure radical and with Toshimasa. Meikan more? 
 

If you have a picture of the whole tsuba we could try to guess the school which might help?

There is an entry in the Kokin Kinko Zenshu for a Meiji Toshimasa with these characters, from Tokyo, family name Fukuda.

Photo of entry ...

Thank you John and Piers for your mei confirmation. 

 

Under reference H 10427 Haynes lists a Fukuda Toshimasa born in 1843 and who was still working in 1887.
