Subject:Can Anyone Translate Signature on Tokyo School Bronze Kannon?
Posted By: Joe Benevides Fri, Apr 11, 2014 IP: 67.182.107.188
Can anyone translate the signature on this Tokyo School bronze Kannon? It’s just under 14 ½ inches tall and appears to be circa 1890s. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Mark reads down as Mitsuhisa Saku. See link to a Bonham's auction result for a Meiji-period bronzesmith of this name.

Best regards,

Bill H.

URL Title :Mitsuhisa

The signature reads 'Mitsuhisa saku' (光久作 - Made by Mitsuhisa).
