I have this, what I believe to be, Japanese Pure Silver Box with standing crane.
The cover has a "blackened" background and then the crane in silver and silver "snow" possibly on yellow gold leaves.
On the cover there is a hallmark that I was hoping that the experts here have seen before. Then on the underside are two more marks that would be great to identify.
I appreciate any assistance.

Re: japanese Crane silver box
This box is made by the Miyamoto Shoko (marked on the side of the box):

The mark on the front lid is probably the name of the maker, but I can't read this one.
