kauai1800 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 Aloha, I wanted to get an exact translation of the mei on the tanto I purchased from Seki Swordsmith Kanefusa Fujiwara in 2012. (Please search my earlier posts to read the story of this tanto). One side is his name, of course, but I would like help with the exact translation and see what he wrote on the other side of the nakago. I appreciate the assistance very much! Quote

kauai1800 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Posted November 12, 2013 Aloha Chris, Thanks for that translation. Now I know the blade was made in Spring 2011, exactly a year before I purchased it. Arigato & mahalo, John Quote
