Dear All,

 

I believe that I may have Shibata Mitsuo origami attributing a tanto to the Naotane school. Since I cannot read it, I would kindly ask for your assistance and forgiveness of my ignorance of the Japanese language and its hiragana, katakana and kanji.

 

I would not be so impudent as to ask you for a full translation, if you please, I would be very happy with the author of the origami and a brief description of his attribution. I am sorry to bother you with that.

 

Thank you very much

 

PS: should better pictures be needed, I will try to produce some, as this origami is already in my possession (alongside the tanto)

Hi Mariusz,

 

Yes, it´s an origami issued by Shibata Mitsuo.

The attribution reads:

 

tantô, mumei, Yamon Naokatsu

短刀 無銘 弥門直勝

Musashi Edo-jû jidai Bakumatsu

武州江戸住 時代幕末

hachô kusun ichibu aru no

刃長九寸一分有之

Markus’ reading is amazing. I was unsure about 時代幕末 part before reading his answer.

 

Some corrections:

武州 – Bushu

有之 – “ari kore” or “kore ari”

 

BTW, the length could be 九寸分, though I am unsure???

Dear Markus, dear Koichi-san,

 

I am very grateful for your kind help and as always very impressed with your kindness to ignorant people like myself.

 

Thank you very much indeed :bowdown:
