Kai-Gunto Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Hi , I got Mitsuoki , but what is the last? Thanks. Quote
k morita Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Hi, The 3rd kanji(Itai-ji, 異体字) means "saku"(made by). Made by Mitsuoki. Quote
Drago Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 I never would have guessed. At first I thought 世 but that made no sense. Morita-dono, do you have a computer version of this itai-ji? I'd like to look it up. The database I use for Kanji (Bibiko's online kanji dictionary) doesn't list any alternative writings for 作 Anyway, so, I suppose the smith is MIT204? Quote
k morita Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Thomas san, Did you know,Mitsuoki's another name was Shibata Ka. Great find!!!!! This sword was made by Shibata Ka.!!!!! Quote
huntershooter Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Most interesting Morita san. I did not know Mitsuoki was used by Shibata Ka. Have you additional photos of the blade Tobias? Quote
