Hi,

I have these seal that si would like to know the artist.

Thanks

Dear Jefy,

You did not provide the painting that adds a layer to this 'mystery.' As a Japanese-language African-Brazilian student, I can only offer my preliminary analysis: the characters read 玄咲精太 (Gen Saki Seita). To my knowledge, there is no well-known painter by this name (I have not researched it online; I recommend consulting an expert or native speaker for confirmation). It is likely a pseudonym or artistic name (雅号, gagō), rather than a family name.

In Chinese, this name could be read as Xuán Xiào Jīng Tài (玄咲精太), though the character 咲 (xiào) is rare in Chinese. In Japanese, 咲 means 'to bloom' and is commonly used in names.

Regarding the red seal: I tentatively identify elements like 高 (taka) and 西 (nishi), which often appear in studio seals, but I am uncertain due to the seal’s complexity. I hope this could serve as a starting point for deeper research into the artist’s identity.

Have a nice weekend

What is this ? - a painting or some kind of writing in something ?
I read the inscription.
亥賀楠丸　Iga Kusumaru*
Both seals should be read from left to right.
Upper seal,
大西喬　Ōnishi Kyō**
Lower seal,
熊軟堂　Yunandō

* Looks like a fictious name
** Posibly name of an author who wrote fiction books for young people in the 1980s about the lives of navy men.(Source: Google)

With regards,
I.Nagy

Sorry, my last comment was without a part of the seal name reading temptative:

大西呑同 Ōnishi Don-dō

But again, I do not know if I am correct.
Renato

Hi,

I have some pictures. I like the style and the universe of the artist.
