Subject:Translation from previous investigation
Posted By: David Sat, Nov 03, 2018 IP: 79.147.2.110
Dear I Nagy.
A while back (July 29), you were kind enough to decipher a particularly difficult seal. I have roughly included your text replies here. Since you mentioned you would be back by Oct end and able to tap into better resources I was hoping you would be able to locate my artist in the archives. I only hope you have a little bit more time for me on this.
Yours sincerely.
David

"""The reading of seals did cause some headaches to me. The first character of the name seal still remains an enigma.
I read it,
　..田耕南　-　..ta(da) Kōnan
The eproblem is that I can not find a painter in the literature or on the net whose name fits to the aboves.
Tentatively, I read the leisure seal,
壽嶊　-Jusai or
壽嶄　- Juzan 　　　Either approx. Outstanding longevity (The place of 山 radical is interchangeable)
Later if I find the right reading I will let it you know.

With regards,
I.Nagy"""

""" I got the knack of the first missing character.
It is a mixture of seal and calligraphic script,
舛　　-　Masu　　　in full
舛田耕南　　－　Masuda Kōnan or
舛田耕常　　-　 Masuda Kōjō
My hunch is the same about the dating
Seemingly a forgotten artist. Now, until the end of October I am away from Japan, so I can rely only on my limited personal library and the net. After returning I'll check it in better stocked Japanese libraries.

With regards,
I.Nagy""".

Dear David,
Yesterday, I spent a full day in two university librairies without tangible result. I didn`t give up yet. I would like to ask you for more patience.
With regards,
I.Nagy
