Hi all,

may I kindly as for your translation assistance for this Hakogaki please?

If I am correct, it says Kamakura on the right. The name on the left is too tough for me... ;-)

Kind regards and thanks

on the right is Kamakura, on the left looks like 八 , 三分 which should be a measure (2.5 cm) but doesn't make much sense for a tsuba
Unless he meant 8.3 cm but used 分 instead of "Cm"

Remember that ‘Kamakura’ just means a particular style of tsuba, not the actual period.

 

On the left 八ノ三　can be read in different ways. Without deciphering the artist’s final seal it is hard to know how this person wants it to be read.

Thanks for your assistance. The Tsuba is 8.4 cm in height and 8.2 cm in width.

So I guess the former owner wrote down the measures ;-)
