Help Kozuka + Fuchi Signature.

[YOJIMBO]

Again, I'm grateful for any help with translation. It's about calligraphy.

Hi Peter

I do not know. Some friend told me there are more options to read it. 

 

Thank you

[Dojikiri]

Fuchi is signed Furukawa Genchin, kozuka signed Goto ...jo and kao, I don't have my books to hand so I can't check which Goto it is but it's not  main line Goto.

Hi Simon, i found this in Kinko Meikan page 442  so definitely him. Can not find this Kao though.

Thank you very much
 
I found this because of your identification.

It looks like mine.

Thank you all for the great support.

 

Can I ask for help with translation kozuka ?

Hello Simon,

 

Not ignoring this thread, but you've got the best answer so far from Dojikiri above

 

Goto ...jo and kao

 

 

後藤囗乗　（花押）

 

I don't know what the 3rd kanji might be. 政 comes to mind, but I don't think this is correct. So many Gotō artists.

Maybe someone else can pick it out.

Hi Steve,

 

I've had a look too but with no joy.

 

My best effort was 収 but I've cross-checked the readings (Kazu, Nobu, Kane) given in the reference with Haynes and drawn a blank. 

 

Best,

John

I was looking through a book yesterday and I thought I'd found it with 殷　(後藤殷乗 - Gotō Injō), but the existing samples look nothing like the one here.

Of course I am very grateful for the help. I use google translator. But it is bad.
