Ed Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 If you want someone to translate all that, perhaps you could at least take the time to orient the photo correctly. Damn difficult sideways. Quote
Shugyosha Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Hi Stefano, If it helps, the date is summer in the 34th Year of Meiji (reading from the papers not the blade as that was easier). The rest is a bit beyond me and I can't make any sense of it. Best, John Quote
