"BIZEN OKAYAMA JU MORIYOSHI" He was active in 1624

is BIZEN OKAYAMA JU MORIYOSHI full name of the master?

Bizen is the province, Okayama is the city, Moriyoshi is the makers name.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately seller has got exactly the same information from his own sources and the price has jumped up :shrug: :)
