kaigunair Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 I came across this iron tsuba school but couldn't figure out the kanji: 喜田村 Full entry is 喜田村一派鐔 Normal translation is Kitamura, but can't find a tsuba school with that name. I thought it could be the yoshiro tsuba school, but the last kanji 村 wouldn't make sense. Another difficult one: 根抜 Is this nenuki? I think I have this one properly translated, but any correction is appreciated: 轡師鐔 - horsebit maker tsuba Thank you in advance! Quote
k morita Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Another difficult one: 根抜 Is this nenuki? Hi, 根抜 "ne-nu-ke" is right pronunciation. It was general term of old Tsuba which is unknown era. But,this term is not used in modern times. See Markus's book, [Toban shokan Koketsu]. Quote
docliss Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Kitamura, with the alternative second kanji, is a family name. See Haynes' H 03218.0. John L. Quote
