Marius G Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Hello, Can somebody please help me with the translation of the text on the kogatana in the photo? Regards, Marius G Quote
uwe Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Seems to be "Izumi no Kami Kanehisa". But I'm afraid, that doesn't mean much Marius! Quote
Geraint Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Dear MArrius, I am sure you know this but I suspect that Uwe is pointing out that this is a modern reproduction 'pocket filler', not a genuine kogatana. Interesting way the mei is made. All the best. 1 Quote
Marius G Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 Thank you very much for the translation and explanations! I noticed that the "kogatana" looks suspiciously new and that the hamaon and signature are etched. So I suspected it is a new item, but wasn't sure. Thank you again for your assistance! Quote
