Kanji Name Question - 06-28-2011, 08:50 PM

I have a piece of Japanese art, and I am trying to find the artist's name.

Any help out there?

I'm not sure that I was able to attach the photo properly.

Thanks,
CKB

耕雲? 耕雹?

I think that it is a name that quotes a part of the Chinese poem(kanshi).
西来祖道我伝東 釣月耕雲慕古風 世俗紅塵飛不到 深山雪夜草菴中

It was not possible to specify it because there was a person of the same name.
The same stamp(red stamp) was not found though it retrieved with Google.

I think you might be right with the left kanji (though I will look into it later), but 雲 in cursive script should not have anything on the left side. This looks like a pen name, and I am wondering what sense would "to plow a cloud" make? The top part of the bottom kanji is マ (I think), and there is 火 at the bottom, i just would like to see the left hand side radical from the seal.

To the OP: can you make a picture of that seal? It is cut.

Either this seal's seal script is incorrect or this is not 耕. Left hand side radical耒 has a different seal script form, especially the bottom part of it. It seems to be based on the seal script form 木, with 4 branches, not two. On the other hand I would need a larger seal carving dictionary, as seal carving forms are sometimes "off". For now, I cannot think of any other kanji than what Siokan gave us: 耕. It is possible that someopne has "created" his own "seal script" version based on the standar script of 耒.

Bottom one is a mystery. Close up picture of the left hand side radical could help. The sig. cursive form looks like the 忄radical. But then again the seal script form of 心 has no dot in it. >.<.
