Thanks very much! Very interesting, that it has a story for each scene. With he decorator's name, I may be able to provide the third character, since it was difficult to see in my photographs.

I believe that this 茨 is the character, I can't think of what else it may be. If so, how would that change the name of the decorator?

Thanks again,
Tom

I think the character in question could be an ill-formed "記",
雪香記 - Written by Sekka

Ah! I suppose that would make sense.
