Greetings to all,

I am researching a Fuchi Kashira, have come up with Hirochika but not certain, I don't have or know if there is a Kao reference. I checked the known artists by this name (those available for review but no sigs.) Work looks comparable to Yoyuki? Thank You, Ed F

Hirochika with kao

 

I am traveling, ie. no books and I don't know this guy. Maybe someone else can look it up in Haynes and type or scan in the info.

Hiro is the same version of the character as used by Hirotoshi (aka. Hironaga) and his dozen students in the Uchikoshi school. If someone has the Baur collection, they might see if Hirochika is one of the students listed on the family tree.

Dear Mr. Ludolf Richter,

 

Thank you very much for the post and your participation. The database I'm assuming represents verified or papered signatures I am sure. At a glance i would say that this piece is not gimei. If I may ask, is this post taken from a book or electronic database that can be purchased? I wonder what it might be titled.

 

Thank You very much for the help, Ed F.

Ed,

Ludolf has a personally-accumulated library of these examples that I am sure is world class. Not something we have free access to unless he decides to publish it oneday

Thank you Brian, that would certainly be a must have, if it were!

Respectfully. Ed F

Going off Richter-san's examples from database, it looks good.

Haynes 01300 ? Curious to look him up when I get home.
