MarkW Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 I received this sword from my grandfather. I've tried looking on the Kanji translation page. This looks weird. Thanks, Mark Quote
hxv Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Mark, It's kanji alright - grass script. I only recognize the last character as saku. Can't read the rest of it. Sorry I can't be much help. Regards, Hoanh Quote
MarkW Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Posted March 22, 2013 Thank you for your reply. Is it similar to Hiragana style? Mark Quote
