Mark Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 I have a sword I am translating, I can make out the mei and date (1857) but there is a grass script type inscription that is difficult, and also above the mei are 3 kanji that I think say something about 10,000 but I do not understand it. I appreciate the assistance Quote
cabowen Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 top starts with a name I think, maybe Goto X taro...can't make out the rest... bottom inscription reads "Kimi Banzai" 君萬歳 Quote
Mark Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 Chris and Morita san Thank you. Very helpful Quote
Bazza Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 CLAP CLAP CLAP - a SOUSHOU tameshimei. Morita san, you are a lifesaver to we hakujin. What a brilliant mei - and is the swordsmith's name not there at all??? Can anyone trump this soushou mei and give Morita san another challenge????? And let us please see details of the blade. Is it in antique koshirae or Shinguntou?? Best regards, BaZZa. Quote
