Name that mountain

[David McDonald]

Attached are two images of a sword tang.

Does anyone know anything about the mountain?

What is its name and where is it?

 

An it seems to be an unrecorded smith???????

 

I read

 

龍Tatsu, Ryū

座Za, Kura

 

於Ni oite

晴Sei, ha, hare

雲un, kumo, mo

山yama

造tsukuru

之kore

 

Thanks for any help

晴雲山 Seiunzan as well. This place exists so, ?? in Seiunzan made this. Can't figure the smith name. John

Name of a famous potter in Yamaguchi and the location of a temple in Shimane I think....

Dear John and Chris

 

Thanks for the info but?

 

Where is 晴雲山 Seiunzan located?

 

When would the potter have worked? Would he have made swords?

 

thanks

It is the name of a famous kiln/potter but he would not be a sword maker....

 

It is the location of a temple in Shimane Prefecture...The way the blade is signed, it lists Seiunzan as the location where the blade was made, so perhaps it is the location in Shimane. Perhaps Ryuza is the smith, though I find no listing.....puzzling....

Dear Chris

 

Thanks for the information.

 

I was hoping that I had not found the correct kanji as I also could not find the smith.

 

Now with your help have a good shot at the correct reading.

 

Thanks again.
