raaay Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Posted June 4, 2012 Hi Jean.C Sorry, did not pick up first time on the straw hat theme . After checking the Museum web site again , that is what it is described as, with the attribution to - Inaba provence / 18th century / Surga ray Quote
Drago Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Uh, very nice one. I'd like to have that... :D Too bad there is no photo of the reverse side. Quote

Ludolf Richter Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 Hi,it's a shame,that the artist didn't sign with his Go but rather with the family name Suruga.They moved from Bizen to Tottori/Inaba in the 17th Century and changed the family name from Haruta to Suruga: Muneie H 06081 died 1636(?) Iehisa H 01775 died 1661 Toshiie H 10377 died 1720 Takaiie H 09274 died 1761 Takatsugu H 09330 died 1788 brother Takayuki H 09348 Takashige H 09311 died 1837 brother Takayoshi H 09338 Takaoki H 09304 died 1856 Takayuki H 09349 died 1895 From the few Mei pics in my database I could not find the artist from the above list.Ludolf Quote
Geraint Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 Hi Ray. Always been interested in this school. Here is one, http://www.silk-road.us/kazumits1.html And if I can find the catalogue one came up for sale a while ago. I agree with you it's really nice. All the best. Quote
