Grey Doffin Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Guys, May I have romaji and translation for the gold inlay and mei on this kotsuka? It will be for sale. Thank you, Grey Quote
Shugyosha Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Grey, In gold - 黒坂義知應需 - Kurasaka Yoshimoto ōjū - Responding to Kurasaka Yoshimoto's request. I'm a little less confident of this bit: 東塩子 - Higashi Shiogo - a place name I think. 源 一 造之 - Minamoto [ ] Kazu (maybe read Ichi) Tsukuru Kore. I'm missing the second kanji on this line. Sorry for the mixture of fonts. 2 Quote
Grey Doffin Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Posted August 19, 2020 Thank you John, I also have a problem with that 2nd kanji; it doesn't appear in the dictionary. Does anyone know what it is? Grey Quote

Expand I think 東塩子 is actually a gō ( possibly read Tōenshi), rather than a place name.
