Fuchi mei


Lee Bray

Recommended Posts

This mei is on the side of a silver fuchi.

It is not in my possession but I have the owners permission to post this and ask for a translation.

Using Self & Hirose, I get the first kanji as (1196) Sei, Jo or Mori, the second kanji as (1028) Min and the third as (838) Mura.

This makes no sense to me so I hope someone can clarify the translation.

Thanks in advance.

Those kanji look to be the ones, John, and late Edo looks right for the fittings.

To me, the last kanji is mura, not koku, but I could be wrong. I wonder if it has any connection to the Murata family you mention?

Cheers, guys.

 

Fittings are a full matching set of monkeys with some kind of fruit.
