Makuzu Kozan
Yokohama ware
宮川香山
Early Makuzu Kozan Satsuma style ware. Many pieces are unsigned and are thus only tentatively attributed to him.
It's possible that some of these Satsuma style pieces were intended for export as antique Satsuma ware, which would explain why they sometimes were unmarked. Per the Wikipedia article on Makuzu Kozan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuzu_K%C5%8Dzan):
"Bringing four apprentices from Kyoto, Kōzan by 1872 had overcome the initial problems, and expanded his workshop with a large recruitment of local men and women.[10] This was the period at which modern Satsuma ware was distressed for export as antique, and Pollard considers that, up to 1876 at least, there was truth in the allegation of Frank Brinkley that the Makuzu workshop participated in the fraudulent trade.[11]"

Makuzu Kozan started looking for ways to continue to richly decorate Satsuma style pieces, but with using less of the gold designs that Satsuma ware is known for (in order to save money). As such, he developed his famous sculptural Satsuma wares. The raised designs and sculpted handles seen in his early Satsuma pieces can be seen as a precursor to these pieces. Note that while he retained Satsuma style decorations, the colors used became more unusual.
Makuzu Kozan's Kyoto style designs, emulating artists such as Ogata Kenzan and Nonomura Ninsei, as well as emulating classic Kyoto ware. The Kenzan style pieces were sometimes marked and signed in the style of Ogata Kenzan.
