The Kangi means this kind of bird, ie crane. However, is a japanese name as well.

Chen, Thank you very much. In your opion would this be the owners name?

Tsuru is also pronounced "KAKU".

鶴 Tsuru (Crane) -- is also a surname
鶴岡 Tsurugaoka (Crane Hill) a suburb
鶴見Tsurumi (Crane View) another suburb
鶴誠会 Kakuseikai (Loyal Crane Society) -- the dojo I belonged to

There are at least two alternate surnames TSURU, but the kanji is different: (1) 靏 (2) 都留

The red seal is divided vertically in two: left side & right side.

The right side is "Takemura" 竹村 [bamboo village], a Japanese surname

The left side reads, "Han" 版and means "publish/version/edition." perhaps I'm reading that incorrectly!

竹村
版
