Tater Posted December 13, 2022 Report Posted December 13, 2022 Hello there, this is my first post and I need some help translating this Sayagaki. I know the last 5 characters are Hida no Kami Ujifusa, but I'm unable to read the first four characters along with the characters to the left and top right. Thank you in advance for your help. I will also include pictures of the blade for your enjoyment. Quote

Expand Thank you for your reply. Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm new to this, but do you know what Noshu Seki ju means or what it's referring too? Also, yes I was aware of what the mei read Quote
Nobody Posted December 13, 2022 Report Posted December 13, 2022 “Noshu Seki ju” means “Living in Seki of Noshu". 濃州 (Noshu) = 美濃国 (Mino no Kuni = Mino province). Present Seki city in Gifu prefecture Ref. Seki, Gifu - Wikipedia 3 1 Quote
