Subject:A question for the Seiya Experts
Posted By: Gary Furst Thu, Jan 12, 2017 IP: 88.109.244.185

Can someone please explain why there appears to be about 5 different Genryusai Seiya signatures, are they from different artists working at the same studio, or quality marks, or even marks from different periods of his work?
I refer to images already identified in other messages as being attributed to Seiya.

These different signatures or marks all belong to the same Tokyo based workshop of Genryusai Seiya.

The question if these marks belong to different periods should be a good topic for an in depth-study by experts of Meiji metalwork. Such research is absent.

Guy.
