IJASWORDS Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 Could I get some help with these two characters, please. Quote
SteveM Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 歓喜 using an old variant of 歓 → 歡 Means joy, jubilation, delight.... Does the sword have any other markings? Quote
IJASWORDS Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Posted April 9, 2021 Steve M, thanks for asking. This sword was made by AKIHIDE, using the name NYUUDO AKIHIDE. So it has religious connotations. A translation would be appreciated. Quote
SteveM Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 OK, so the whole name would be Kangi-nyūdō Akihide, showing that he has some special devotion or affiliation with Kangiten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangiten 於相武台下歓喜入道明秀作之 Oite Sabudai shita, Kangi nyūdō Akihide saku kore Made by Kangi nyūdō Akihide, in Sōbudai. 4 Quote
