Grey Doffin Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 I think "Bizen no Kuni Yoshimitsu." May be wrong about the Yoshi Kanji. Grey Quote
Nobody Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 The last part may be Toshimitsu (壽光). Quote

DirkO Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 Could be this one (I think it's Toshimitsu as well) although I don't have my Fujishiro's with me to compare mei at the moment : SUKESADA GODAI [HREKI 1751 BIZEN] SHINT CHJSAKU He was called Yokoyama Hichibei. He changed to Toshimitsu in Hreki Ninen (1752), and died at the age of 85 in Meiwa Hachinen (1771). Signatures: BIZEN KUNI TOSHIMITSU BIZEN KUNI J OSAFUNE SUKESADA Quote
