At least there are no custom taxes for european collectors when purchasing at Zacke or Czerny's.... american or british auction houses have lost their continental european buyers...
Thank you Moriyama San, do you mean it is the signature of the artist having made this kozuka ? There is one Norishige with these Kanji in Haynes ( H 07394.0) from the Hamano school.
I know that this request comes outside from the Nihonto/Tosogu world but if someone could decypher this netsuke mei, it would be a great help.
Thank you in advance
