Munemitsu

[David McDonald]

Dear All

 

I am working on a translation of a katana dated 1944.

And the following is what I think I have so far

於x x山麓

ni oite ? ? yama no fumoto

so the sword was made at foot of some mountain

 

源宗光作之

minamoto Munemitsu saku kore wo

 

Does anyone know anything about this smith or can anyone

read the name of the mountain. Or did I make a mistake???

 

thanks

Hi,

於青葉山麓

"ni oite Aoba San/yama fumoto"

The sword was made at foot of Aoba mountain.

Dear Morita

 

Thanks I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to find this mountain.

Living in Montana (we have a few mountains here) I thought it would be easy.

 

Thanks again

There is a Aobasan Koen (park) near Kyoto and a Aobasan in Miyagi Prefecture -Sendai City...maybe others....

 

There was a Munemitsu working during the war in Yamagata ken, which is next to Miyagi ken....
