Paper inside tsuba box

[shakudo]

Hi all,

Just received a parcel thru Jauce- tsuba in a very rough box and kozuka and kogai- no connection Im sure! But in the bottom of the tsuba box is the 'note' attached. So do I have anything related to a tsuba or is it last Februarys grocery list??

Thanks again to all the knowledgable members prepared to share their expertise. Cheers Mike

Highly stylized writing. It would help if you could describe your Tsuba a little. Any insects for example?

Hi Piers,

Really simple spoked style - as a wagon wheel but double the spokes and a fukurin( band around the outside in a brass) low quality really. I was after the kozuka and kogai really. More an enquiry from interest on the grass script really - I have no way of reading that style at all- left brain - right brain--- s**t I have a huge void in the middle!!

Thanks for your interest.

Mike

Like the bank manager’s scribbled signature!

 

Hoping someone steps in to read that for you. Even a typed Japanese version would clarify it.
