Wim V Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Dear all, I am deciphering a description of a sword in one of the Japanese Token Bijutsu. I am quite ok with most of the text, but I am having serious difficulties with just one of the characters. It's the second kanji in the attached picture, so what I have is 仙?彫之. If I am not mistaken this second character contains three radicals: 王 ⽲ 乃. However, when I try to combine these in a kanji search engine, this does not seem to generate the correct result. The only kanji I find that come close are 秀 透 誘 銹 綉 诱 锈, but I feel these are not correct. Can anybody shed some light on this one? I appreciate any help. Best regards, Wim Quote

Wim V Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks for the input John. Do you know where to find the proper kanji for his name? (in Unicode text?) Quote
