miner1436 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I have logged on. A friend at work inherited a small stout Japanese blade from his late father, it has a signature on it, and I was hoping someone could translate it please. Thanks, Rich. Quote
SteveM Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Looks a bit like 昇龍作 (Shōryū-saku) to me. Shōryū means "rising dragon", and so it feels a bit like a commercial brand, rather than an artists' name, but I could be mistaken. I can't read the two small kanji at the top - a picture taken at less of an oblique angle might help. Quote
