Okan Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Posted October 3, 2022 Looks the same I believe..funny how it ended up on reddit. Attributed to Kanenaga but It's a shikkake with TH. Quote
xiayang Posted October 4, 2022 Report Posted October 4, 2022 I haven't been able to find the kao, but it might be useful to know that the sayagaki was written in 1950 CE (probably in the month of June): 昭和庚寅[六?]月識之 3 Quote
SteveM Posted October 4, 2022 Report Posted October 4, 2022 如月 (February) It was written by someone using the art name of 囗堂 but I can't get the first one, and I can't find any appraiser who used 堂. I'm sure I'll kick myself when the name is revealed. 2 Quote
xiayang Posted October 4, 2022 Report Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Thanks Steve for correcting my reading of the month. As for who wrote the sayagaki, I believe I've found the solution (here). The art name is 蘇堂 (So Dō), real name 林田等翁 (Hayashida Tōō[?]) 林田等 (Hayashida Hitoshi). Edit: My bad, 翁 is a honorific, not part of the name. Edited October 4, 2022 by xiayang 2 Quote
