    Hello, new to this board I believe, it is possible I joined it many years ago though... I work with art and antiques, and am happy to help people out. My wife usually does my translation work for me, be she is currently out of the country, so I need to ask a question from people who may know! I am wondering if anyone can do a proper translation of this seal? It comes from the belly of a large bronze elephant from Japan, likely Meiji to Taisho era, and the artist has used ancient Chinese seal script to be scholarly. Any help would be appreciated, thank you, Greg.
