Japanese Porcelain Mark Help Needed

1 Attachment(s)

Hello. Could some kind soul help me with the attached porcelain mark? So far I have figured out (I think :-)) that the kanji inside the square mean "Kutani Ao Kama" or "Kutani Green Kiln" but I am at a loss to find the Romaji for what appears to be the artist signature below it. Many thanks in advance.

Edit: oh i was reading it the proper way, sorry, this should go as you said

九谷窯青 - Now it is Kutani (9 valleys) Green Klin

What roma ji are you talking about? 文峯画 is not in romaji thats kanji. Design Peak Picture (drawing)

The artist's name is Bunpou.

Blimey, it sounds like "grammar". So "drawn by Bunpou" then. Thanks for help Masaegu.
