1tallsword Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 hello folks and good day, first off let me say thank you in advance for all your folks help. this mei is rather long and i can make out the last 4 kanji as daijo fujiwara nagayuki i believe. would anyone be so kind as to lend a hand and help me with the others from the begining,or corrections with what i have thus far?? thank you, Jeremy Quote
Mark Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 I think Hoshu (Bungo) Takada Ju Fujiwara Nagayuki.. I think you got the last 4 right and those are the most important as if you can look up makers named Nagayuki you can match the other kanji for a book Quote
Geraint Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 Hi Jeremy. Several Bungo Takada smiths signed Nagayuki, Hawley only lists one who signed as yours is, working circa 1596. I would love to see more pictures of your sword. All the best. Quote
