felros Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 Can anyone please assist me with the translation of this tsuba ? It is from a Koto period katana attributed to Kanekuni. Just wondering if the tsuba is of the same period or a later addition. Thanks, Craig Quote

felros Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks for all the help , Researching Myochin was interesting. As close as I'll get to translating this one I think, finding 'Suzumushi' was a nice bonus. (See attached diagram) Still one side with unidentified characters if anyone has any ideas?
