The artist's signature is often composed out of three kanji:
where the first two kanji represent the artist's name or pseudonym. The last kanji varies and is usually one of the following: 製 ("sei" = made by), 作 ("saku" = produced by), 造 ("zo" = created by), 刻 ("koku" = carved/engraved by), 刀 ("katana" - carved/engraved by), 堂 ("do" - store), 店 ("ten" - shop).
The signatures are sorted according to the first character in the maker's name. |
