    Can anyone ID this mark on a Satsuma Ginger Jar? Stands 6 3/4" tall.

    From Google AI -- The image appears to show a maker's mark—consistent with the kanji character for Kizan (輝山 or 喜山)... Likely late Meiji period Satsuma.

    Makes sense. Could mean one of two pieces since the mark is on the rim and not on the base.
