Large Japanese Bowl

[Stan]

Hi Peter, I think that this is probably from the early to mid 20th century, can you read the name of the potter and then I can research it, it is hand thrown and hand painted,  it weighs about 15 pounds, the size is 60.9 cm across and the hight is 22.9 cm, I think it might be a studio piece but I am not sure, thanks for your help.

Here are pictures of the bottom.

Thanks Peter, it looks like there are two characters is that name for both? or is the bottom mark Hizen.

That is the two characters on the bottom.

Thanks Peter, it must be a Studio piece, because I can't find anything under the name, I will let you know if I find anything on it, thanks for your help.
