Hermes Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I bought it from a sword dealer at a SF Cow Palace Gun Show in the 80's, a small tanto, his stand was about 75 feet from the door, the dealers name might have been Rick, he was Japanese and a nice easy guy to deal with if you had the time, he was busy, he had a lot of swords. Thanks in advance. James Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 My guess at a glance... A-shu ju Sukehira æ·¡å·žä½ã€€ç¥å¹³ Quote
Nobody Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 My guess at a glance... A-shu ju Sukehira æ·¡å·žä½ã€€ç¥å¹³ You are right! But ...... the pronunciation for the province may be Tan-shu. Quote

All these years 've been saying A-shu, and I even had an Awa-zutsu, and nobody corrected me, and it's "Tan-shu"....... grrrrrr..... Moriyama san! Quote

Moriyama san! Piers, Are you saying this Awa-zutsu? ---> é˜¿æ³¢ç’ Then, that Awa (阿波) is called as A-shu (阿州). (aka Tokushima Prefecture) However, Tan-shu (æ·¡å·ž) means Awaji-shima (淡路島) in Hyogo-prefecture. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Come on, Moriyama san, give me a break. They are right next door to each other and I always put them together in my mind!!! Awaji and Awa no kuni are different, but they do sound very similar in English!!! I know you are right. :lol: Hai, wakarimashita! *****Anyway, James, the east of Shikoku is a nice part of the world! Please forgive the thread-napping... Quote
Jacques Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Hi, And then, in the old Japan there were 2 Awa; one in Shikoku island and another in the peninsula in front of Sagami :lol: Quote
Nobody Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 ........ and another in the peninsula in front of Sagami :lol: Isn't it in the peninsula of Boso (房ç·åŠå³¶), not Sagami? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awa_Province_%28Chiba%29 Sorry Quote
Jacques Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Hi, Moriyama san http://www.maproom.org/00/05/sub1/1.html Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Guess you're talking about the same one. Boso peninsula : http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB% ... andsat.jpg Awa firstly mentioned by Moriyama San : 阿波国 = Sagami Awa 安房国 is/was the one in Boso Peninsula Quote
