Bugyotsuji Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 Not sure where else to try. Not Nihonto related. Found on a Negoro suzuri-bako inkstone set. Thanks in advance for any help! Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks for looking, John, and for the commiseration! Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Posted April 20, 2017 The only other clue was an inkblock marked 鳩居堂制. Could it be the first two characters, ie 鳩居? Quote
John A Stuart Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Goodness, even 鳩居堂制 on an ink block. Pigeon coop company? Way beyond me. Haaaa! John Quote
