竹邨 - Chikuson
Ishikawa Chikuson 石川竹邨 1884-1952
Born in Tokyo, Learned painting from Matsumot Fuko and Suzuki Kason. After the Great Kanto Earthquake moved to Nagoya. Specialized in flower and bird painting.
As of your question, there are many Chinese and Japanese compiled seal script dictionaries on the market (in China and Japan), but these cannot be used without the knowledge of Chinese/Japanese characters. The successful reading is followed by the name and signature identification in artists` signature and seal dictionaries or recently online - however, language knowledge and practice in reading of calligraphical styles are also indispensable for this.
With regards,
