Subject:Japanese Bronze Meiji Suiban Seal
Posted By: STEVE KOPPICH Tue, Sep 20, 2016 IP: 107.142.109.114
I recently purchased a suiban depicting mythological creatures (dragon, kirin, minogame, etc). While I am familiar with Japanese art signatures on other categories of art, I do not have any books on metalwork. I am hoping that someone can assist in translating the seal. Thanks ....

Here is an image of the mark rotated clockwise.

I was not able to decipher the first character starting from the right. Second character is 山(san- zan- yama).

Guy, thanks ..... I posted the seal on the Nihonto Message Board and received a reply from Mr. Morita a few days ago .... his reading is Jozan ... confirming your reading of the second character ...

Thanks for your kind efforts in rotating the photo and researching the characters! ...
