Rodenbacher Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Dear Gentlemen, please help me with the translation of the signature of a Kogatana and a Kozuka. First the Kogatana. Quote
Rodenbacher Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 And here the Kozuka. It seems to be a Signature and a poem at the top? Quote
leo Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Dear Rodenbacher(your name?), blade seems to mean Yamashiro (no) Kami Fujiwara Nagakazu. Those signatures are not by a smith and are usually meant for decoration. The soshu-like kanji on the Kozuka I cannot decipher. Best, Martin Quote
Rodenbacher Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Sorry, I forget to mention my name: Peter Diemer. Thank you very much! Quote
Nobody Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Kogatana: 山城守藤原是一 - Yamashiro no kami Fujiwara Korekazu Poem on the Kozuka: 四更山吐月，残夜水明楼 That seems to be the first part of a poem composed by Du Fu. 1 Quote
