I have an old family Japanese item that is signed by the artist, but i showed a couple Japanese friends of mine and they told me that its in Kanji and they cant read it. I would very much like to know what it says. Maybe someone can take a look at the photo and tell me what the characters say. Thanks so much!

Probably つねしげ (tsuneshige) but I don't know if this is a famous artist.
