Could anyone identify these markings on this Inrō box?
« on: September 01, 2014, 01:32:44 pm »
I have a Inrō box and would like to know if anyone can identify the markings. They could be just the name of the person who made but I want to be sure. I believe the writing could be Japanese but want to be sure. Thanks

Hi, I do not think this is very old, but you can try posting it here: http://netsuke.websitetoolbox.com/ . There are many people who know a lot about Netsuke and Inro on that forum.
