Hello. Would you happen to have any more pics of blade and koshirae? Thanks

[Jean]

Chris,

 

Ou have rhe era now you must find the year.

In a Japanese date, you have first the era, then the year of the era finishing by a day in the XXX month

You found the era, just after you have the number of year then the numeral of the month followed by the kanji « a day »

No worries about the day. It’s often not determined. Only “a day” or “on a lucky day”....was written!

[Jean]
