sohei Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Can someone help translate the hakogaki? I've searched the NMB, and there is quite the discussion with awesome examples of Dr Torigoye's hakogaki, but I don't believe this is by him. Thank you, Mike Quote
k morita Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Hi, The description on the box(also inside) differs from the feature of your tsuba. Maybe different tsuba. The Hakogaki says: Inlaid work of letters(kanji) of two dragon. Iron base,Mokko shape, Nunome Zogan,............ Quote

george trotter Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 looks like someone mixed up the boxes? if you have a tsuba signed by "Harima Kuni Ju Suzuki Muneyoshi" a swordsmith of Harima around Kansei era 1789-1801, then this is the correct box for it....Hawley lists only one tosho of this name; he worked in Harima c.1800.
