hddennis Posted July 16, 2024 Report Posted July 16, 2024 Just bought a jyumonji yari from Japan and the seller sent this copy of what I believe is the registration paper. Does it give any information about the yari? Thanks for any help, Howard Dennis Quote

hddennis Posted July 16, 2024 Author Report Posted July 16, 2024 Thank you so much Arnaud. That is fantastic. One question if I may? It was sold to me as being signed Kaneyoshi? Sorry about the sideways image it just refused to load correctly! Howard Dennis 1 Quote
uwe Posted July 16, 2024 Report Posted July 16, 2024 It reads most probably “Kaneyoshi saku”, Howard! 2 1 Quote
hddennis Posted July 16, 2024 Author Report Posted July 16, 2024 Thanks again Uwe. Howard Dennis Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 16, 2024 Report Posted July 16, 2024 吉 can be read either Yoshi or Kichi but in this case as Uwe says, Kaneyoshi would be the natural first choice. 1 Quote
