Mark is Dainippon Taizan made. Japanese.

I doubt that this is a real Taizan, his work was very limited and of high quality and the mark was often accompanied with an embossed Kinkozan mark.

In viewing the bottom again, it looks like there is an embossed mark, could you take a close up picture of the embossed mark, I think this might be one of his later works when he partnered with Kinkozen.

The last character is defiantly zan but the other one is still hard to understand. Can you take another one where there is no glare on the mark..

That one also is Taizan.

Thanks Peter, It looks like Taizan did sign and emboss some of his items and the colors appear to be correct for 1880 his earlier works were nicely detailed and his items are highly sought after.
