Bruno, it is not a translation but romanization

[Kurikata]

Jean,

 

let's say:  can someone confirm my translation in english:

 

Round iron openwork tsuba

Copper inlays

Unsigned "Heianjo school" 

"Kanzan Jittoku"

Bruno,

 

If you got anything from that you should have a medal. Good going!!

Hi Bruno,

I was looking at some Kanzan hakogaki, and I came across this thread from a few years ago. I just wanted to say I don't think that final signature of Kanzan is "Jittoku". I think it just says "Kanzan shirusu" (寒山誌) as he normally signs.

 

The 誌 is a bit stylized but looking at it with fresh eyes I think it is the same signature as he always uses. 

 

It may not be of interest to you anymore, but Its something I noticed and I wanted to correct my answer.

And it is not copper but brass inlay.

[Kurikata]

Houa Steve and Jean! What a surprise to have you precising the exact meaning of this Hakogaki so many years after the very beginning of this thread. You are so persistant on this forum!

Hi,

 

[kissakai]

Wonderful image from Morita san. I think I'll just give up, way beyond mortal man!

By the way, I feel indebted to show you the tsuba confirming this attribution.

 

Thank you to all of you.

[SteveM]

Wow! For some reason, I didn't expect that. Much more elegant and refined than I expected. My mind had imagined something more rustic.

Very nice. 

[Bazza]

If I might stick my neck out, it might have looked more rustic if it hadn't been blingified somewhere along the line!!!

 

BaZZa.

[Kurikata]

Bazza, probably a more realistic rustic approach of my tsuba..... in real light

[Bazza]

Ahhhhh, Bruno, WOW!!  Just shows what a correct White Balance and exposure setting can do for contrast and colour.  Bravo!!!  It certainly looks a million dollars now.  Thanks for showing it.  I love it.

 

Best,

BaZZa.
