Kurikata Posted April 27, 2021 Report Posted April 27, 2021 Hi, I have a nogawa shop bronze vase signed 祐三 祐 can be read Suke or Suku yu and 三 can be read either San , Zo or MI(tsu) Can you help me in translating this signature ( Suke Mitsu ?) Thank you Bruno Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted April 27, 2021 Report Posted April 27, 2021 Hi Bruno, I'm inclined to read this as Sukemitsu. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/Japanese-craftsmanship-art-meiji-period/two-bronze-vases-two-pairs-bronze-vases-45/18327 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 Feeding this into a J search engine, ‘祐三の読み方’ (how to read 祐三 )flashed up as a search option, showing that many Japanese themselves are not sure on the reading. The most common answer given seems to be Yūzō. 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Posted April 28, 2021 A great thank you to both of you.... Both Suke Mitsu and Yuzo sound very much as great names for kinko artists. Quote
