  4. Moriyama san, Keichu's complete works(only #7 vol) arrived just now. According to this book, my decipherment is right about "TAKARA".
  5. mr botanical, Hard to read upper kanji of the mei of Fuchi. Because, it is too artistic and artful . Lower kanji is "Shin" 真 . KM, It is beautiful your translation. But, translation of poem is not creation of poem. Moriyama san, Only a #7 volume of Keichu's complete works(books) will arrive to my house today.(活字版の古本です) Keichu's 100 poem of Mt.Fuji appears in this book. I'll up-load a page later.
  6. Moriyama san, I searched the book of the Edo period in the library of Waseda University. This book is the 100 poetical works in which Keichu composed Mt. Fuji. It says TAKARA (宝/treasure), not TAYORI. You don't believe wrong web-site! Attached pic is a avidence. This book says TAKARA 宝 .
  7. Moriyama san, I will looking for a book of the poetry of Keichū.
  8. Thank you for your all postings!! Meaning of the haiku poem of the kashira: [The extensive foot of the mountain,the Mt. Fuji, only one treasure in Japan.]

  13. Hi, "Hozumi(family name) Kunuaki(保泉 圀明) in Chiba" appears in the name list of the 1st gunto exhibition in 1943. However, he is using not Kuni 國 but another character Kuni 圀.(meaning is same). Maybe same smith. ??????

  17. Hi, Nice both side of Kozuka! Please wait for English translation of the haiku poem till tomorrow. :D I learned one by this poetry. Mantis's forelimb looks like a sickle, therefore, I thought that it was a " sickle." However, people of the old time had called it an ax. An ax and a mantis appears also in this poetry.
  18. Hi, This is Kozuka which you should just possess. The theme of a haiku poem on this Kozuka is a mantis.
  19. Hi, The signature of your Tanto says "Nobuyoshi" 信吉 Nobuyoshi was a pupil of Hokke Saburo NOBUFUSA. Lived in Iwate prefecture. Good smith. http://homepage3.nifty.com/tatara/tousyou.htm
  20. Thank you for the replies. Attached pic is an example of misreadings and a mistranslation at 119 page. The mistake was corrected in the red character. Such mistakes are to many pages of this book.
  21. Hi. Stephen, LOL Moley, Benkei is reading out a roll"temple solicitation book" in the checking point in Ataka . The roll which he is reading out is just Kanjincho(temple solicitation book). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanjinch%C5%8D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benkei
  22. Hi, Geraint is a correct answer. :D The theme of fuchi and kashira is the Kabuki plays,titled "Kanjincho"(勧進帳). The inlay on the fuchi is a wooden box carried on Yamabushi's back to store items for a pilgrimage,called "Oi/Hako-Oi" 笈. The name of the mountain priest(Yamabushi) on the kashira is "Benkei" 弁慶 .
  23. Hi, Try "special steel",at SEARCH on top of index page of this Forums. I surmise that "special steel" means near stainless steel or cold-resistant steel.
