nickm Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 the never ceasing questions.. can anyone tell me the hada type? I've been trying to get pictures and trying to see it in different lights but keeps showing up more glistening than in hand... I assume that to be intermittent nie? Quote
Brian Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Don't do so close. Never helps when looking at swords and just makes things look rougher.Take from further away. The thumbs here are more useful than the full pics.Resist the urge to put things in neat boxes. Hada is not a science, and things don't follow the books always. Quote
nickm Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks Brian. Attempt 2 Keep having the same problem that essentially is trying to take pictures INS up turning it shiny silver white gritty looking Quote

Spirit of Loyalty or Loyal Spirit http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/27864-mekugi-translation-help-please/?p=281323 From the other thread. There are dueling threads on this menuki. Piers suggests another possible reading and meaning (Tadayuki no Tamashii). Personally I don't think this refers to an individual. I think its just a generic invocation of bushi virtue. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Hada looks very reminiscent of Shin Shinto. Quote
