I bought these fine japanese bronzes made by Kabuki HIDEAKI 株木秀明 or SHUMEI (picture 1). Within the tomobako (wooden box) I found a piece of paper with some text on it (picture 2). I presume this could be some more information about the author of the bronze. Can anyone help me to translate this ?
Kind regards,
Bernard

A list of seven honors and awards the artist received between 1925 and 1940 at various domestic
exhibitions.
Furthermore says Kabuki started his apprenticeship in 1905 in Odawara at master Yoshihama Shuaki.

Thanks a lot,

Is it to much asking to give the details of honors and awards since information over artist doesn't exist on the web ...

Thanks in advance
