Subject:Okimono signatures
Posted By: Selby Cook Wed, Dec 12, 2018 IP: 104.177.63.52

I have two Meiji period ivory okimonos that I would like help with in identifying the carvers. The first is dyed red with the characters scratched in. Sorry, but I'm not sure which way is up. The second is dyed black. Again, I'm unsure which way is up. Many thanks for your help. I'm pretty much lost when it comes to Japanese characters. The pictures leave much to be desired as well.
