Caracal Posted April 9, 2024 Report Posted April 9, 2024 Hello I would like help with translation on this Katana. A. B. Quote
Geraint Posted April 9, 2024 Report Posted April 9, 2024 Dear Robert. The first one is Hoshu Takada ju Fujiwara Yukinaga. The second perhaps Sukemune? All the best. 2 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 9, 2024 Report Posted April 9, 2024 Geraint, you must have a bendy neck to be able to read those! Quote
Geraint Posted April 9, 2024 Report Posted April 9, 2024 Ah well! I do live in Cornwall! I'd post pictures but it would upset people. All the best 2 Quote
Geraint Posted April 10, 2024 Report Posted April 10, 2024 By the way Robert. I would be surprised if the first sword was a katana given the proportions of the nakago. If you are thinking of buying this then check the length against the description to be sure. All the best. Quote
Caracal Posted April 10, 2024 Author Report Posted April 10, 2024 Thanks Geraint for the translation, They are not my pictures but they seem to be swordsmiths from Bungo "豊後" bungo Takada school and Shimada School in Suruga Domain (present-day Shizuoka Prefecture), and yes it is a wakizashi. //Robert 1 Quote
