Taygrd Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I would be very grateful for any assistance given in translating the following writing on a shirasaya. I believe the first section to be "Tsuda Echizen Kami Sukehiro" , but I could be mistaken. The rest was beyond what I could find in my books. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I think you're right as to the Mei. Tsuda Echizen (no) Kami Sukehiro. Is that Echi- ? The second pic gives you the date of about Enpo, 1673-1680, but I can't read the character that looks a bit like 上, unless it means the beginning of... The third frame gives you the length. Quote
