NBTHK Papers

[RM1704]

Hello

 

I got this sword, and would need a translation of the papers. Could you translate the part for the Koshirae and the part for the sword?

 

Thank you very much

[Bugyotsuji]

It's doable, but a lot of work for someone. The Saburo Kaneuji blade paper is of the old type, so probably not too reliable.

Have you tried using an auto translate app in your cell phone. While not perfect they can give you a good start

If you have the time to wait for a day or so, some willing soul here will surely be along to help.

 

PS If you have any close-ups of the decorations it can help enormously with looking up unusual plant names, etc.

Yes, tried google translate, but that didn't work at all
