hanko identification
hanko identification
Hello all, I recently received an Edo period shakuhachi with the above markings on it. It looks to me like a very crude hanko. Can anyone tell me what it means?
ゲ which is a katagana (one of the two Japanese syllable alphabets) and pronounced "ge".
That is how it looks to me.

unknown hanko is chinese charactor Take(bamboo)
It reads "Take 竹" (kanji)chinese charactor.
Left half is a half of 竹（Take:bamboo), and the right is a mark of the similer(〃).
So that is 竹.
But it's not a hanko. It's a curved one.(probably carved by a knife)
Ordinary shakuhachi makers use yakiinn(the heated iron with letter).
By the way this old shakuhachi is very interesting for me.
I'm curious to listen to that tone.
