Grey Doffin Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Hi guys, I can make out Higo and I'm sure I'll make a mess of the rest. Help please. Thank you, Grey Quote
SteveM Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 肥後 勘四郎初代 真鍮地 ？？彫 Higo Kanshiro, the first (shodai) Shinchū-ji ?? hori (bori) The two with the question marks are killing me. Can't figure out what they could be. I thought the first one was 鹿 or 唐 but neither of those fit with the final 彫 (I think). Usually we see something like 高彫 or some such.... driving me nuts. edit: maybe 唐草彫 but... feels weird to me. 2 Quote
k morita Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Steve, Yes,it's "karakusa-bori" 唐草彫 2 Quote
SteveM Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Whew - from looking at Kanshiro's other works, which feature a lot of karakusa, I felt I was close... but I was expecting karakusa-no-zu or something like that. Quote
