Hi! I think this is a "Gongshi". From the anthropomorphic form. Someone can help me with the translation of calligraphy? Is there a date or the author's name? Many thanks in advance for every help.

Japanese, the artist's name is inscribed but I can't quite make it out. Surname begins with 崔, given name ends with 史. Not dated.


Text dates from China's Yuan dynasty and reads: 亭事木上坐楚楚洲夫火因依太古石融液無邊春

Hi rat,

I also can see the 崔 character, which is a Chinese family name, but I have not been able to find a Japanese family name begining thus.

The following conglomeration is I think two characters, but I have yet to unscramble them, and I think the last character of the name is a typical 子, suggesting that the artist is female。

I also think the first seal reads 日本氏。 I suppose a clearer photo of the second seal could begin to resolve these issues.

Yes, something along the lines of this, which isn't right either 崔秀外史

Many thanks. Can someone tell me the translation of:
亭 事 木 上 坐 楚楚洲 夫 火 因 依 太古 石 融 液 無邊 春
