Hi

 

First pic: Koto Katakiriha Fudoken

Second pic:Shinto Fudo Myoou katakiriha

 

Both, description of tsukurikomi and era.

Koto is Before Muromachi era, shinto is after Edo era.

The tag in the upper picture says 不働剣 (Fudo Ken), which means “No work sword”. :rotfl:

Of course it is a mistake, and the correct term should be 不動剣.

:lol: :glee:

Would that be an easy mistake to make, or do you think it must have been written by a non-native Japanese speaker?

On the tag in the lower picture, he wrote 不動 properly. I do not know if he is a native Japanese or not, but anyway, some of Japanese would make such a mistake.

Thank You everyone!

 

with your assistance I have figured it out ...

 

The round tag and the rectangular tag were from two different swords and mistakenly both attached to one sword ...

The rectangular tag belongs with my sword ... there is a Fudo Myo bonji engraved on the sword .. I will post some pics when I can

 

Thank You again
