Gunome Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Hello, On first picture, the 2 kanji on the right is "koto" For the others I don't know Quote
kanetoyo Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 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. Nakamura Quote
Nobody Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 The tag in the upper picture says 不働剣 (Fudo Ken), which means “No work sword”. Of course it is a mistake, and the correct term should be 不動剣. Quote
Brian Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 The tag in the upper picture says 不働剣 (Fudo Ken), which means “No work sword”. :lol: Would that be an easy mistake to make, or do you think it must have been written by a non-native Japanese speaker? Brian Quote

Brian 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. Quote
denlong Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Posted August 31, 2009 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 ... "Second pic:Shinto Fudo Myoou katakiriha" 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 Quote
