Can anyone help me identify this hanko?
I have recently been given a fantastic 1.9 shakuhachi, and am trying to find out more about it. The only info that I have is that it is 'probably pre-war'. The flute has a really good sound. If anyone recognises the hanko in these pictures, please let me know.

Thank you Perry - makes the flute that much more interesting, knowing some of its story.
