Eve Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 Hi everyone, I have another katana and saya with kanji I need translated... I'm pretty sure the saya says 'Kanefusa' but I can't work out the two on the pommel. Any help appreciated! Sarah Quote
Shugyosha Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 Hi Sarah, Yes Kanefusa: 兼房. I can't see the second kanji on the end of the scabbard but the first looks like it might be this kane. 1 2 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 A different angle might remove the shine on the second Kanji, but John is probably correct. Quote
Eve Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Posted June 10, 2021 Great, thank you both. Here are a couple more photos (just taken on a cellphone this time), hopefully the quality is ok, and I think it's the right way up? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 Sounds cowardly, but a brush in a different hand, and I could not be 100% sure. Seeing Steve post above, though, and with the circumstantial evidence already there, I'll back him up! Quote
Eve Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks guys! I'll note that it could be Kanefusa in both places but with a caveat that we can't be sure... Quote
