Subject:Netsuke signature identification - real or fake?
Posted By: Alice Fri, Nov 29, 2019 IP: 118.211.159.246

I recently viewed a netsuke and would like to know if anyone can identify the signature. It is 20th century and made of ivory.

thank you. Is it possible it's from a Hojitsu school as opposed to the artist themself?
