During a search in my PDF archive (50% of my books already scannerized, i plan to have them finished in no more then one year)

I've found this term regarding a type of steel. But I can't find the

explanation in details from where it comes from :

 

KANEHIRO TÔTÔMI NO KAMI [KYÔHÔ 1716 HIZEN] SHINTÔ CHÛJÔSAKU

He is the son of Yamato no Daijô Kanehiro and is the nidai Kanehiro. The soemei of "FUKUBE TETSUZÔ" shows that it is a type of nanban tetsu.

 

I know Nanban Tetsu, Hyotan Tetsu, Konoha Tetsu but this is new to me.

 

 

Anybody can help me ?

 

Best,

You know Hyotan Tetsu. So, it will be easy to explain.

Kanji for "Hyotan Tetsu" are "瓢箪鉄". Hyotan means gourd and its another name is Fukube.

 

I assume that the soemei was usually written as "Hyotan Tetsu (o) motte tsukuru (以瓢箪鉄造)".

:idea: Incorrect reading for it may be "motte (以) Fukube (瓢箪) Tetsuzo (鉄造)".
