tesscoothome123 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Hi, I was hoping someone could give me some hints on the translation of this one. I am stumped because each character has more than one meaning. I am probably way off from overthinking this one, but is this a five character mei? Or province then mei. 1st- Kiyo or Dai 2nd Naka or Shin 3rd Shi 4th Mitsu or Za or maybe Masa 5th Hide. Still trying to learn. Thanks for you help, Regards, John Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Hi John, good going. 1st no, 2nd one of those choices is correct, 3rd yes, 4th one candidate is correct, and 5th yes. String them together and you'll get a famous school, (three characters) and a two-character famous smith. Quote

Brian Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Well done John, That was a good attempt and well done. Gimei, but it's great when the attempts at translation start to come together. Brian Quote
