Nihonto Knowledge Cards - Kanji for mei, dates and provinces

[Ray Singer]

Hi everyone, 

 

This will be my last print order for flashcards for now. If anyone was thinking about getting these, please message or email me directly to place an order.

• Mei (names) - the more commonly seen kanji used in swordsmith's mei, including examples of mei containing that the featured kanji - 152 cards
• Kuni (provinces) - the reading of the Japanese province names, with information about the provinces and some reference information on related schools and representative smiths - 90 cards
• Nengo (time periods) - the kanji for time periods from the late Heian period to the present, with reference information on each time period - 144 cards
   

My hope with these is that everyone who uses the cards can have a better understanding of the fundamentals of reading Japanese sword inscriptions and kanteisho, and this will unlock access to Japanese language sword references.

These cards are now available for $25 each plus shipping and $75 plus shipping for the complete set. Please email me at raymondsinger@gmail.com if you would like to order a set. 

Best regards,

Ray
