Bruce Pennington Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 Got a request for a full translation of the banners in this photo. We know it's a send-off for an employee, Mr Ogawa Hisaichi, but interested in what they are saying about the manufacture of swords. This came from Richard Fuller. He said “They seem to confirm the manufacture of gunto and diplomatic swords at the factory/workshop of Matsuyama with reference to tempering a sword (by) expert artisan(s" I ran this by Guy, at Wehrmacht-Awards, and all he saw were send-off slogans, and nothing referencing swords. Just want a second opinion before I give the word back to Richard. Thanks for the help! Quote
Kiipu Posted August 12, 2020 Report Posted August 12, 2020 Sorry, according to Nick the logo was used by Matsuya, a department store, and not a sword maker.
