4 character mei?

[Stu W]

Hello,

 

I recently purchased a set of kanji flash cards from Grey and am now able to determine some of the basic two kanji mei. This four character mei has considerably more strokes than I am familiar with so will need some assistance. Can someone determine the smith please?

 

Thank you,

Stu

I'm thinking the third kanji down might be "hiro". Yes? No?

Woo Hoo...I think I'm on a roll here...4th one down looks like 'masa"...???

廣正 Hiromasa. Beauty. First two? John

Hi John,

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm pleased to know I'm on the right track.

 

The top one is still a mystery to me but I think I have figured out the 2nd one. I'll do a little more checking and then post my best guess.

 

Regards and Best Holiday Wishes to All,

Stu

Is it possibly a stylized Goto?

What do you mean by this Robert or rather what are you referring to?

 

5 minutes short of midnight and listening canticles, so peaceful....

I mean it looks a bit like Goto Hiromasa. The Go is quite like the Go from the kodogu artists. The To is a little bet different from the classical. Have a great holiday! Cheers, Bob

OK then...with the Goto "clue" provided (thank you very much) I have come up with another mei of that name, Goto Hiromasa, posted on this site. I'll repost the photo here. I'm thinking it's a match.

Your thoughts?

 

Here is the previous thread I mentioned...

Thanks to K. Morita san (hope I said that correctly) for the translation there.
