    This piece is coming up for sale tomorrow and I have been trying to read the signature all week without success. It appears that the characters have been stylised. It is not on Gotheborg and not in any of my books. I've been through my book of Kanji with no success. Any ideas?

    Choshuzan (zo), if you get it ping me a decent pic of the mark and I'll add it to my database, not got that one so far. Not a well known maker, prices seem to be average for it, not a specifically collected name afaik.

    Here's the version I have currently, less stylised but still quite off from the standard Kanji, if around today I bet they would be spamming all the print fonts available :)
