Someone has told me of a catalog: _Odd men out: unique works by individual Japanese artists_, published by Sydney L. Moss (London, 1998) which has an article about Hozan and a photograph of one of his works. I suspect that will be the best we can do, and might be all we need at present. If someone finds more, I would be grateful, but the heat is off for now.
Thanks to all who offered help!

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Help with Takahashi Hanzo
We currently have a sculptureon display(on loan from an estate) by Takahashi Hanzo, a 19th century Japanese sculptor. (He worked in wood; incorporated the grain into the form of the sculpture). We're unable to find more information on him and his work.
Checked _A dictionary of Japanese artists_ by Laurence P. Roberts, 1976, and standard sources (Thieme & Becker, Benezit, & some others)as well as books on Japanese art & sculpture. I have not checked Art Index as we're having trouble with the system. No access to other indexes. I found someone on Google who knows of his work and even reproduced a sculpture quite similar to the one we are exhibiting in his posting to a list. I contacted him (no reply yet). So I turn to you. Can you help?
