We have five new netsuke. One is an ash tray netsuke, like N019, but in metal. There are also three seal netsuke (one may not be an actual netsuke). The seal impressions are shown opposite. Archaic seal script is difficut to read!
The larger oval seal probably reads 適二居士. I am not sure what this says. 適 means rare, 二居 is the name Nii, Futai or Futatsui, and 居士 is the Buddhist term koji, that means layman.
The smaller oval seal might read 樫畻, Kashikuro, although I am not at all sure about the second character. Further research is needed.
