Anybody have an idea what these markings read?........

Ueno Yoshioki, a Seki smith.


上野嘉興



上野 弥吉 (Real name: Ueno Yakichi [also pronounced Yayoshi]


Is there a 関 (Seki) stamp above the name?

Thank you so much! I'll check for the stamp.

[pvluger]

Don't see any additional markings beyond the ones in the photos.

[gunto]

I think I see the buttom of a Seki stamp over and to the right of the 2 mekugiana.

[pvluger]

Ah, perhaps. I'll take another look.
