Hello all


I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me who (or what) is written on this old woodblock.
The is a signature and a stamped seal (or chop) partially over it.
many thanks in advance

Kind regards and best wishes for 2022
Tony
Adelaide, Australia

I find if you right click on something and then hit "search the web" it gives you info on the item. Doesn't work every time , but worth a try in Windows 10.
