mekugi-ana style

[vlado]

Greetings.

Can anyone help Identify this mekugi ana Which style coud it be. My thinking is this That triangle shape mekugi ana is very similar to Suhami-gata style.

I would like to DETERMINE significance and age of style and where was started to be used in history.

I would also like to know what the symbol suhama means.

I'd like to hear yours opinion about this mekugi ana style.

  Best regards and thanx

My opinion is that the sword was remounted at least three times (different tsuba possibly, or different mounts entirely), or the person refitting wasn't very good at it and had to drill three times to get it right.

Thank you for replay mr. John.

Did you mean something like peninsula looking from air?

  Or yust sandbar on the beach?

Or did I get it totally wrong?

I ask for an explanation please.

Sorry for my bad english.

Is it known what the significance of the symbol suhama is or it is only (insignificant event???) in natural appearance but is it or is meant to be big or smal in natural creation.

If you watch the thing on the coast from standing point coud be small bu if you look from mt. fuji you also find natural creations in the form of suhama.

Over the Japanese history the symbols had special meanings therefore I wonder about suhama?

 

Dirk thanks for the link I got it before that is why I ask.
