Subject:Can Anyone Translate the Signature On This Tokyo School Bronze Female Farmer?
Posted By: Joe Thu, Apr 22, 2021 IP: 2601:205:381:4c70:85

Trying again: Can anyone translate the signature on this Tokyo School Japanese bronze (first picture)? 15.5 inches (40cm) and looks to be c1890s. No foundry mark, but there's a signature that doesn't resemble any that I can find.

Thanks in advance.

外光 - Gaikō 

I can't find metal artist with this name.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks so much! I have a couple others that just have signatures with no foundry marks, and those artists have also not had their reputations come down through history and filter onto the Internet. It's certainly nice to know that this one is 外光Gaikō, so thanks again!
