edzo Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 Have a blade signed "Hikita Tarobe-ju Kiyonobu but unable to find any geo-reference for the place or location. Thank you in advance for your effort if known. Regards, Ed F Quote
SteveM Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 Hikita Tarobe-ju ? Are you sure the inscription translation is correct? That sounds strange. 1 Quote
SAS Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 How about a photo of the inscription? 2 Quote
edzo Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Posted December 8, 2019 Dear Steve M and Steve S, thanks for responding. I spent hours attempting to translate, the smith was easy the other kanji was not so may be wrong. I will now attempt to resize and attach a photo properly. Ed F Doc4.docx Doc4.docx Quote

edzo Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Posted December 8, 2019 Thanks, J E, originally i had the jo, but thought it could be a residence and went to ju, not good at this. This should help me research the title. Thanks very much, maybe the blade is better than i thought or interesting history. Respectfully, Ed F Quote
