Hi all

 

Having a practice and have come up with the following.

 

 

?

 

?

 

Showa 19 = 1944

 

Nen = year

 

San + Gatsu = March

 

?

 

Unfortunately I can’t make head nor tales of the 1st, 2nd, or 8th kanji.

 

 

Any help or a prod in the right direction would be much appreciated

 

 

Regards

 

Frank

Thanks Stephen

theres no pulling the wool over your eyes :oops: but in my defense every so often I just look at what is there and have a go at translating it, it is one way to learn.

As for the first two kanji I could not find any thing close to Sho-Wa not written that way?

What about the last one though :?:

 

regards

 

Frank

Yes, you're there to all intents and purposes! Congratulations. And Stephen is correct.

 

(Star) 昭和åä¹å¹´ä¸‰æœˆæ—¥

 

(Star) Sho Wa Ju Ku Nen San Gatsu Hi

(The last Kanji can be read as Jitsu, depending on context, but with same meaning)

 

(Star) Sho-wa Teen-Nine Third Month Day

 

= 1st day of March, Showa 19

Frank,

 

You got it all in your first post....

 

Visit Richard Steins site to read about what the Star stamp (it is a stamp by the way) and other stamps meaning.

 

The fist two kanji (below the star) are SHO WA.... characters are a little stylized so it may not look quite like what you expect when compared to typed kanji.

 

then JU and KU and NEN - 19th year

 

then SAN and GATSU - 3rd Month

 

then HI - Day (basically can be read by us as "a day in")

 

昭 - SHO

和 - WA

å - JU - 10

ä¹ - KU - 9

å¹´ - NEN - YEAR

三 - SAN - 3

月 - GATSU - MONTH

æ—¥ - HI - DAY

 

Cheers!

Aizu ju...so des, Hai domoarigatogozaimasuta Paul sama,

in Doc Stiens site under RIKUGUN JUMEI TOSHO SWORDSMITHS they list a Wakabayashi Shigetsugu which is the way Shigefusa signed his first name see (Sloughs pg. 157). I wonder if its the same smith and he used dif, name at dif forges.
