Subject:Help With Translation of Signature on Japanese Bronze Seated Bijin (Geisha)?
Posted By: Joe Benevides Mon, Apr 14, 2014 IP: 67.182.107.188 Trying this again. Originally posted back in 2012, but with no luck. This type of Japanese signature is a tough one to translate. Is anyone able to make sense out of it?

Posted By: Joe Benevides Wed, Apr 16, 2014 Thanks! That's a big help. 作 means "work" or "made by", so "made by Kyozan" solves my mystery!

Posted By: rat Wed, Apr 16, 2014 Sorry, Gyozan/Kyozan is the name of a different artist from someone else's post. Was doing these too late last night and confused myself. The characters I posted are the right ones, but I don't know how they are pronounced in Japanese.
