Need Help On A Kozuka Mei

[Gunome]

Hello,

 

I need help to decipher this kozuka mei.

The kanji in the kao looks like Harunaga 春永

Can someone confirm ?

 

Thanks

乗意　Jyōi　　（I think)

 

Wakayama says that Nagaharu 永春 was one of his "art" names (Go - 号）

Hello Steve,

 

Thanks for your reply.

If I remember well, Jyoi is a big name or Nara school.

So probably gimei, but I will do some research.

 

Many thanks
