Nobody Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Hi, That reads Seki ju Kawai Kaneyoshi saku (関住河合兼義作). Ref. http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/tosho.htm Quote
MalcolmS Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks for the info. I don't believe the tang has a stamp anywhere, I think it is just the signature. Quote
