    Hi,
    I'm struggling to read this hallmark. I'm hopeful that someone can enlighten me.
    Have I got the words the right way up?
    I think I found that the bottom right mark means; Tsukuru or Zo, but probably totally wrong. hahaha
    Any pointers on how to find help reading hallmarks online?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Can you post a picture of the whole item? Design can often aim you in the right direction.

    Your picture of the marks (not technically a hallmark since there was no Hall to mark ceramics) does look like it's in the right orientation, with the lower right mark meaning "made." I do not have a clue what the others are.

    Looks modern to me as in post WW2 for sure and likely some time in the last quarter of the century. Unfortunately I don't see anything that aims at a particular style to narrow down the search.
