Hello everyone,
Below are images of a bronze sculpture of Shoki the demon queller. A translation of the characters might help me identify the name of the artist. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Shôkaken (笑化軒) is the art name of Ôshima Yasutarô (大島安太郎, °1849), the older brother of Ôshima Joun (1858-1940). He died young, probably before 1878.
