Mera Ta’ichirō [米良太一郎; seal: Mera, 米良 ] (Japanese, censor, fl. 1843–1851)

Nanushi censors (名主) were Edo officials who examined and approved woodblock prints, marking them with seals derived from their names. From 1842 to 1846, these seals appear singly; from 1847 to 1853, they are typically found in paired combinations. Name seals continued alongside date seals until the end of 1853, when the system shifted fully to date-based censor marks.
