Looking at an NTHK paper from 1984 given for a pair of menuki. A note to myself on the worksheet says "ko-Mino copy" which today, I don't see this on the paper. I think the paper is saying these menuki are late Edo Mino menuki. I see (?) dai Mino saku and also Edo jidai (?) (?). What are this (?) kanji??? These menuki are lovely and do look like ko-Mino except they the plate is too thick and they lack the depth that you see on ko-Mino. That said, I'd just like to understand these kanji and what they are saying. Explanation anyone? Thanks

Ron, I think that kodai means later generation.

 

You are right, of course, I now added the missing “r” - and found out that “Late Generation” is a punk rock band.

Thanks guys, this clarifies exactly what the judges wrote. This a very well made pair of menuki which I've always enjoyed. I knew the thickness of the plate was a factor. Purchased these decades ago from George Phebus, now long gone. Again, thanks for the help.
