oristt Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Can anyone shed some like on a translation? Thanks Quote
george trotter Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 It might be HARUMITSU (Haru = spring). Hard to tell as the pic is so enlarged and kanji are both damaged by a 'gash' or something... Quote
Ray Singer Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Kiyomitsu. 清光. The mei is flipped (mirrored) for some reason. Quote
george trotter Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Yes you are right Ray...maybe we should call this smith "hidari Kiyomitsu"? 1 Quote
Ray Singer Posted February 15, 2020 Report Posted February 15, 2020 Funny George, the first thing that went through my mind when I saw this was "Another Hidari Mutsu". I am curious if the photo was accidentally flipped or if the smith really did sign the mei backwards. Quote
george trotter Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Yes, I wondered that also...be good if the OP got back in touch/ Quote
oristt Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Posted February 23, 2020 Unfortunately I’m not sure if the Image is flipped or not, i was just intrigued as I couldn’t make sense of it but now for obvious reasons. Quote
Tom Darling Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 The kanji is definitive. Peace. Tom D. Quote
