Chinese Marks on Brass Trinket box?

Hello I was Wondering if anybody can interpret the marks on this Brass trinket box. It has a Black enamel like surface with 3 balls (circles) which are balled up brown(copper) and gold Dragons in a cloisonne style. Part of the stamp is very weak so I manipulated the pic by magnifing and having the light hit it at the right angle to get a little more clarity. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help Peter. I have been able to find alot of info about Takeuchi Chubei a Cloissone artist from the Meiji Period. I found other pieces of porcelain with the first rows symbols Monopoly though not sure what this pertains to?

The lines read from the top:
Monopoly
2211... (number unclear)
Made by Takeuchi

So, this seems to be Japanese.
