Yeah, it's Japanese. Should be worth a few hundred dollars.

Must be maker of item.  Thinking it is Japanese...but the boar is much more popular in Chinese tradition.

The signature is similar to those you see on items which people refer to as " Tokyo School ", like referring to them as a group of artists.
However, i don't think this is Tokyo. I think i see Yama, but it's unclear.

This looks like your bronze. Sold for $425

Yes. that first character there is what i referred to as " Yama ". It's also similar to " Kuzan " which you would also expect to see on these items so...
