LONGHURST Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Please this is my first post and I would be most grateful if any message board members can please help me out with the translation of 2 different mei signatures that are on two halves that make up a solid gold kanemono? I have attached 2 photos showing the signatures. Thank you for looking and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Quote

Nobody Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 The chaser of the 2nd item may be Katsura Mitsuharu (桂光春, 1871-1962). Ref. http://www.kagedo.com/collections/2/KJA0170.html As for 金子 (Kaneko), it also could be the name of a shop. And the characters below the seal may be “K18” (= 18 karat). Quote
LONGHURST Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Thank you Koichi you have shed more light on the possible identity of one of the artists and I am very grateful for your kind help. If you find anything else out would very much welcome any frther info or advice Quote
