blades87 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 I have a tsuba from a wakizashi that I am trying to translate and am a bit stuck here and was wondering if I could get some assistance. This looks like an older tsuba and my guess is the lower kanji is yoshi 吉. I don't know, maybe Masayoshi 正吉? That is, of course, if I am looking at this mei upsidedown, in which case I would feel really foolish. Any insight would be greatly appreciated and if there is an error in my method, please let me know. Cheers, Toby Quote

blades87 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Posted February 1, 2010 Cheers, Grey! I am going to look at the kanji for Yamakichi to see where I made my error in translation. Again, many thanks. Toby ------- 山吉 ------- Yep! I see my error. The first kanji threw me off with translating the second kanji. Quote
