Unknown Made in Japan Mark

The first mark appears on the first teapot, which looks a great deal like the second teapot, which is marked with the Moriyama Morimachi mark below.  The problem is I can’t find anything in my books, photo search, etc. about.   I don’t even know what it is or is supposed to be.  Help please!

Tashiro Shoten elephant mark, upside down.  Check gotheborg.com; click on Japanese marks on the left.

Oh my gosh, I looked at that every which way and could not see that elephant.  I;m actually quit familiar with him too as I have a few cups abs saucers and another tea set by them but they all have the fancier laurel or shield versions.  Thank you so much!
