Subject:Does Anyone Recognize Maker's Mark on Bronze Dancing Geisha?
Posted By: Joe B. Fri, Nov 03, 2023 IP: 2601:201:8880:8a70:c

Greetings;
Can anyone translate the maker's mark on this bronze dancing geisha? Also, any guesses as to the age? It's solid bronze, 8 inches tall by 9 inches wide. There's considerable detail in the obi and fan with all the appropriate seems on the kimono, but the bottom is flat which leads me to believe it's late Meiji (1900-1912). Thanks for your attention.
