Subject:Request help identifying mark on Japanese Bronze vase
Posted By: Roger Fri, Jul 23, 2021 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:3

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help identifying the Japanese mark on the base of this very large trumpet vase. I purchased this yesterday from an estate belonging the US Vice Counsel to Japan (Nagasaki) in the late 1800s. Thank you!

A honorary title given to master craftsmen in Edo and Meiji periods and it doesn't necessarily refer to Echigo Province.
 
With regards,
