Subject:Hel to identify the mark of a Japanese bowl.
Posted By: Giuseppe Thu, Jul 23, 2020 IP: 85.225.86.154

Dear friends, once again I need your help to identify the mark of this small porcelain bowl. I can identify the writing "Dai Nippon" but I cannot identify the writing below. Thanks again

The mark beneath Dai Nippon is "Hi" 肥, which is probably an abbreviation of Hizen with only the 1st character (Hi), meaning the Hizen 肥前 province in the Arita region.
I'm not sure how old this is, might be the first half of the 20th century.
Regards,
Martin.
