Joanlaom Posted November 13, 2020 Report Posted November 13, 2020 Dear collegues, I adquired an old (It was sold to me without autenticity certification, but they ensure me that was a real nihonto) wakizashi few days ago, but I am facing some problems in translating the Mei... I have only identified that the first two kanjis refer as "Takada", but I am unable to translate the rest... Here is the photo. Thank you very much in advance, any suggestion will be very helpful!!

Geraint Posted November 13, 2020 Report Posted November 13, 2020 Dear Joan. Looks like "Takada no ju Kunihisa". Can we see the rest of it please? All the best. 1 Quote

mtexter Posted November 15, 2020 Report Posted November 15, 2020 So awesome that it still has the kogatana... Looks like the real deal to me, although the mei looks a little different compared to the style i'm used to. I'm sure it's a combination of the signer's handwriting and my inexperience. Wonderful looking piece you have there. 1 Quote
