Subject:Nagasaki Ken ?? To Bill H. or Guy
Posted By: Martin Michels Thu, Nov 03, 2016 IP: 84.26.216.123
Bill, Guy,
I adress this item specially to you 2, because of your knowledge of Chinese and/or Japanese characters.
In my search to know more about Japanese markings on ceramics I found this mark under a Hirado jar in the British Museum (see picture).
They translated the characters as:
Dai Nihon Nagasaki Ken Mikawachi Satomi Takeshiro
However I'm not convinced about the character for KEN which normally is 県.
So do you know what character is used?
I could not find it.
So if anyone knows, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Martin.
