Hi guys, Thank you very much for the replies, they are a great help & fills in some holes. It's probably quite a "regular" blade compared with most of the fantastic ones I see on the Forum, but it’s a Kanata in a good (old) polish with only a couple of kitae kizu. & I'm really quite attached to it Would anyone happen to guess the age of the writing, I believe Honami Nishu died some time ago? Would it be likely that papers by Fujishiro mean that it was polished by him (or I guess Honami Nishu) or is that sort of thing done separately? Thanks again for all your help, I'll continue my attempts to finish off the translation of the papers & learn as much about it as possible. Iain

Hi, I wonder if anyone could please help me with translation of my Katana sayagaki. I believe it was written by Honnami Nishu, but beyond that I have no information. The sword also came with Fujishiro papers (which I’ve managed to translate some of), attributing the sword to Moriyoshi. Hope the pictures are good enough & they work OK. Thanks guys for what ever help you can give. Iain E
