[QUOTE="Francisco G Kempton, post: 4479797, member: 22714"]Well, I do not have any where near your skill in Japanese linguistics, I found your post very informative and interesting and educational.

I am guessing it is more a semiotic representation of kanji. I might very well have interpreted all that incorrectly. The only way I guessed it was fukagawa was because I love fukagawa and have a few vases and bowls and one in particular is from the 19th century and has the red orchid which i was told is from the 19th century and know to see. [ATTACH=full]388858[/ATTACH] However the Orchid has been used at various times by fukagawa in the 20th century and late 20th century, but was usually always in blue. However i think they might have even more recently used the red version, but the red version is meant to be exclusive to the 19th century, that may have changed. The OP's backmark is not coloured and is impressed and i am not too familiar with that backmark, but the orchid is usually a good sign that it is possibly 19th century. Mt Fuji is the later version more commonly. I think you are possibly more correct in the dating, I copied this image from Gothenborg here.... and they do say the date is tentative.
