edzo Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Greetings to members, If anyone is willing and has a chance and can read or is familiar with these characters please let me know. I'm going to continue working on the second section which i think i'm having some luck. Hopefully. Have been wrestling with this using Names and how to read by koop & Inada. No luck or is show as variant but leads me to dead end. Perhaps not using it correctly but doing ok so far. Have surfed quite a bit. Thank you in advance. Gratefully, Ed F Quote
Guido Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Shirasaya + Sayagaki = Shiragaki? In any case, this Wakizashi 脇差 was made by the famous smith Mumei 無銘. Quote
edzo Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Posted August 1, 2011 Dear Mr. Shiller, Thank you very much for the translation and correct terminology. I have spent hours on this piece and could not associate it with what I have translated if those are correct. But this I,m sure will give me a direction. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and time, Respectfully, Ed F. I really lucked out but he is not listed, Its not easy being me but, thanks for the translation I won't miss those characters again. Quote
Jean Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Ed, Guido was kidding: 無銘: without signature :D You should go through the links on top of the page and you will learn a lot. Quote
edzo Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Posted August 1, 2011 Dear Jean, Thanks for that, I have a sense of humor, and it is funny. I was focused on smiths and should have considered the formats of shiragaki which i did review months ago. Need to refresh, and slow down. Respectfully, Ed F. Quote

sanjuro Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Guido. In any case, this Wakizashi 脇差 was made by the famous smith Mumei 無銘. Is this the same smith who had a lot of his work signed by a chap called Gimei? :D (Commonly known as the smith of a thousand signatures). Quote
