Would anyone be able to assist me with deciphering this worn chop mark?

I've been though my usual bank, and the nearest i can get is Aiba Koyo, but i'm not certain owing to how worn it is. I'm wondering if anyone who has actual knowledge (not just me trying to match the kanj/ chop marks against photos of other ones) can help me out.

The photo is upside-down for some reason, i tried to orient it correctly, but it just reverts back to this.

Yep. You are correct.
Koyo.

Here is another for comparison:

A picture of the pot would be final confirmation, as Koyo's are very discernible.

Excellent, thank you very much! It has the oribe glaze that is well noted in Koyo pots, that is what got me first thinking that it was from that kiln before even looking for a chop. Just with how warn it is, it's good to have confirmation

You've gotta post a pic of the pot now you've teased us Tim!

I will try to get a photo of it, but for now it's tucked up safe and sound, well and truly out of harm's way.
