Wayben Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Hi Guys, I'm trying to translate the second line of the attached NBTHK Certificate. I think I have all but the third Kanji. Any help with that one or corrections on the others would be much appreciated. I believe it is - Item wave ? cloud dragon theme tsuba mu mei Sat Suma. Thanks very much for any help. Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 I think it is 波濤雲龍図鐔 and the theme might be translated as rolling waves and cloud dragon. Quote
Wayben Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Posted April 17, 2016 Thank you very much Jussi!! That makes sense. Quote
MauroP Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Wayne,a shakudō tsuba decorated in sukidashi-bori sounds quite unusual for a typical Satsuma tsuba. Would you mind to post an image of the tsuba, I'm curious and could be educative as well.Bye, Mauro Quote
Wayben Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Posted April 18, 2016 Took me a while to get somewhat decent pictures. Hard to get the color right, these are pretty close. 1 Quote
MauroP Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Thank you Wayne, nice tsuba. I'm just a little more confused about the calling of Satsuma. Bye, Mauro Quote
Wayben Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Posted April 20, 2016 I'm with you Mauro. I've looked for similar tsuba attributed to Satsuma and haven't found anything in this style. I'm continuing the hunt. Quote
