Subject:Help translating Japanese seal name
Posted By: I.Nagy Fri, Nov 30, 2018
Inscription,
武陽城南泊船(堂)- Buyō-jō Minami Hakusen(dō)
Buyō-jō - Edo Castle South
(Buyō is the archaic name of Edo)
Hakusen-dō - Pseudonym
Seal,
泊船 - Hakusen + Handwritten 堂 = Hakusendō
Hakusendō was one of the pseudonyms of Matso Basho
1644-1694 Famous poet of Edo Period, but he used to
paint paintings too. I could not find any Hakusendō
signature or seal print sample in my books, so I am perplexed
It would be difficult to know if your painting is genuine.
With regards,
I.Nagy
