Kurikata Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 I have the obvious second kanji " Ichi". But what about out the first one ? Thank you for your help ! Quote
Kurikata Posted February 21 Author Report Posted February 21 Hello without answers I tried to make more homework and succeeded in finding this Kanji (KI): 起 Therefore the signature might be KI ICHI. 起一 My problem: I cannot find any artist with such a signature .... Can you bring some information ? Thank you Quote
Ron M Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Hi, idk if this may help but one of the other pronounciations of Ichi is Kazu, I think. so in this case if you are correct on your assessment of the first kanji it may be rendered as Kikazu regards Quote
Bazza Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 And likewise KI may have another pronunciation... BaZZa. Quote
Kurikata Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 Thank you Ron and Barry, Indeed pronunciation can vary from a context to another one. I discovered that 起 can be read as "OKI" even "O". But Haynes doe not disclose any artist with these kanji as KI ICHI KI KAZU OKI ICHI OKI KAZU O ICHI 0 KAZU Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Which world of artistry is this from? How about 柳一, Ryu-ichi.(?) Quote
Kurikata Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 Hi Piers, This signature is on a kozuka on the Ura face (which is unusual). I'll take your proposal for more research. Quote
