Subject:Request help identifying Japanese Bronze
Posted By: Roger Tue, Aug 30, 2022 IP: 2601:281:d300:975:88

Hi All!
Here's a nice Bronze Usubata vessel. I'd greatly appreciate any help identifying the mark on the bottom. It's similar to Murakami but I don't know. I do have the top tray (not pictured) as well. Thank you!!

The same name and marking were used by the 2nd and 3rd generations. Your vessel have been cast by the 3rd generation at the beginning of the 20th century.
