I‘m not an expert, and I'm not really sure (so I'm open to criticism). The bottom left is definitely 之 which is common in Japanese and Chinese. The one on top of 之 appears to be 生, which makes the most sense. But, I'm not entirely sure as it could also possibly be 岂 or 岜. My best guess overall is 粉秀(the right from top to bottom) 生之， so maybe it means produced/born from this woman 粉秀？
