Curran Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 I don't own the kozuka, but I do enjoy studying such pieces. What is the correct reading of the signature? This one isn't easy for me. I've come up with some weird sounding readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curran Posted September 7 Author Report Share Posted September 7 Thank you gents. I thought it was "Sada", but I really wasn't sure from the eccentric strokes. Glad I at least got that right, but I totally didn't get "Sadayoshi". I was way way off base with that second character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi., The second kanji is hard to read, but I believe it is Koreyoshi-utsusu (是美寫). Is this a work by Ishiguro Koreyoshi or a replica? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was For Sale on Yahoo!Japan. The seller could not read it and seemed to know little about tosogu. The design was not for me, but the materials and workmanship were very good. The theme was ducks [or water fowl] by a stream. The design was not typical Ishiguro. It was "minimalist", but very good shibuichi, gold, and other metals. A strange puzzle that I could not solve. I did not save an image of it, and I cannot find the former link to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
