Looks like there were 3 of them. Ludolf thinks this one is the second.

 

F: Yokoya Suzuki

N: Iemon nyudo name Soyu

Yoshisada

W: Shinbashi in Edo

D: died 1772, signed to the age of 75

NTS: first son of Suzuki Soju H 08899, and

student of the first Somin H 08917. This artist

worked in the classic style of the early Yokoya

school. Much of his work was equal to that of

his teachers.

SCE. W—39—L—7, W—I—16, K.p.—39,

K.p.—79, K.p.—438

 

F: Yokoya Ishikawa

N: Kyuzo Yumin

W: Edo

D: ca. 1750—1800

NTS: son—in—law and student of the first

Terukiyo H 09579. B.C. p. 438 #539 D1029 illus.

p. 278, iron octofoil shape with ishime surface

and inlaid in gold and silver with many different

spring and fall plants, covering the entire

surface of both sides, signed: Yokoya Terukiyo

and kao. A work that unsigned would not be

identifiable. This artist sometimes signed: nidai

Terukiyo, mostly in his later years, but he was

capable of working in any plate metal and any

style of work. In fact he was famous for his

many imitations and forgeries, made mostly

during the period of 1781—89, some of which

no doubt have passed as the work of his

adopted father.

SCE. W—39—L—8

 

F: Yokoya Ishikawa

N: Genhachiro Minosuke

Terushige Sokyo Yoshisada

W: Edo

D: ca. 1775—1825

NTS: son of the second Terukiyo H 09580.

Moslé p. 342 #1095, shibuichi kozuka inlaid

with two shakudo crows in flight, against a

copper sun and carved clouds, signed: Terushige
