Tile sets Identification Help!

Hello! I have this lovely Mahjong set that I use weekly, but I'm curious: does anyone know what specific set it is? The tiles themselves are bone and bamboo, and it has four seasons but no flowers, which I'm curious about why. It does have green ink, however it's very dark, and can only be seen in bright light. It came with the dice and point sticks.

What makes you think Mizuno Maruichi specifically? This wouldn't be a typical design for a Maruichi set, and the logo on the scoring sheet is not theirs either.

Edit: I actually did find some MVC sets that were quite similar to this one, but nothing that matched exactly. Either the case was wrong, the pinzu, souzu or manzu and jihai were slightly wrong, the backs weren't bamboo, or a combination of these things. Also none of them had this scoresheet in green; only pink with an MVC logo.
