Seems like ancient Egyptian sword did not have a hand guard. Anyway, what those kinji says?

It could be the Orion's belt or the Eagle, or even the Swan. What about the other three? sergei

Sorry, Chris, for the wrong use of the word hieroglyph. What I mean is pictograms and ideograms. Could you please read those? s

That's the hieroglyphs on the back of tsuba. Please help to read. Thanks. Sergei

My memory is damaged (or full), I don't remember the kanji. And my Japanese friends only can tell me the meaning of hieroglyphs, but not English transliteration. Poor me...

Please tell me who's signature is this? And what is the constellation? I would very much appreciate. Sergei

Most Umetada Shigenari that I've seen (MFA website) look quite differently. I wonder if mine bears a faked signature? Any thoughts? I would appreciate. Sergei

Yes, both front and back. What's your thinking?

Thank you so much!

Please help. Thanks. Sergei

I've got an iron tsuba with copper Carp. In 4th KTK book (page 52) there is similar motif but it looks very different. Anyone has an idea regarding when/where my tsuba was made and by which school? Thanks. Sergei

Please help me with the signatures. Thanks in advance. Sergei

Thank you, Chris! Any idea of what is the motif? Someone told me that it is an origami crane, however this does not explain why mokume technique was used, if it intended to represent paper and not wood... s
