Good Day Forum,

Upper marking,
厚義作　-　Atsuyoshi-saku - Made by Atsuyoshi
Lower marking,
まるき社中製作　-　Maruki Shachu Seisaku - Manufactured at the Maruki Company

Maruki Company in Nihonbashi, Tōkyo during the Meiji period specialized on manufacturing high quality bronze sculptures. Atsuyoshi was a sculptor employed by the company.

With regards,

Signed 'Atsuyoshi saku' (厚義作), 'Maruki shachû seisaku' (まるき社中製作 - manufactured at the Maruki Company).

Made by Atsuyoshi for the Maruki company in Tokyo.
