Need help on translating Kozuka & Kogatana mei
ottou812 replied to ottou812's topic in Translation Assistance

2 different blades from the same smith that needed translation at almost the same time?

I used a kanji to romaji translator when I did the translation. Not fully sure in the intended meaning other than what you see above.
