ice-hot Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well I have to give up! There is no kanji like the 2nd character on this fuchi. The first is YUKI? But the 2nd... how about a hint, I mean what the #^%$ Ive already been fired, showered up, got my check and cleared my locker before noon! LOL!! Thanks, John Quote
SteveM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Hint: Gotō family of metalworkers often used this in their names. Quote
ice-hot Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Hi Steve, Well they all seem to have Mitsu in one way or another in there names? But if that's what you see can you show me in a book, because I have about 500 pages of kanji with about 50 variances of Mitsu and my eyes don't see anything with the two horizontal strokes three vertical and then another two horizontal. (then again my eyes are 58 years old) If that's not it just disregard the above ramble and hit me with another hint! LOL John Quote
ice-hot Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Then again Jo is in a lot of the names, but same story I don't see it in what I have to reference. Ok, I get it... Fired again. John Quote
SteveM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 乗 It is very stylized in the mei, as these things usually are. You don't see any resemblance? The left and right symmetry, the upper half of horizontal and vertical lines at right angles (this is stylized in your mei), and the lower half consisting of a vertical stroke flanked by two diagonal strokes.

ice-hot Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well if I squint really hard...no just kidding! Yes, now knowing what it is and your description, but Yuki looks just like the kanji I see most for Yuki, good thing he didn't "stylize" that or I would still be browsing pages and squinting. LOL!! Take care, John P.S. Thanks for your help Steve, Its people like you that make this forum as respected as it is and keep Kohai like me coming back. Quote
SteveM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 There is another possible reading for this mei = Seijō. Kiyonori is also possible. I'll have a flip through the books when I get back home to see if this mei matches anything. Edit: Actually I don't think YUKI is a possible reading. Did you get 清 for the first kanji? If so, you would be looking for either Seijō or Kiyonori. If you got YUKI, then you probably have this kanji mistaken for something else. Quote
