  3. I think that Steve’s reading is almost perfect. I only corrected 2 or 3 hentaigana here. I also agree that 新井幸男 (ARAI Yukio/Sachio) might be the recipient of the flag. 新らしく築く東亜の建設 井つかはめざむ▢▢▢ 幸ひ君の御召り事 (I am not sure about the last two characters.) 男らしく進め國の為 君の武運を祈るらん 玉瑛 – Gyokuei (The art name of the person who wrote the message.) The characters on the left part of the seal are also 玉瑛 in Tensho style.

  7. The examination fee for registration is 6,300 JPY.
  8. “鐔の例” is so tasteless for its title. In some contexts, it is not strange to use kagami as example, model, or pattern.
  9. I think that "Tsuba Kagami" means "Examples of Tsuba".
  10. 龜眼 - Kigan
  11. 豊後國住紀新太夫行平作 – Bungo no kuni ju Ki (no) Shindayu Yukihira saku
  12. I guess 新春 - New Year.
  13. Here are better pictures. https://i.imgur.com/LbUsZHK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GUMnRRm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4kIRNiS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aDQ6jsz.jpg

  21. Another link - 正光作 平成十七年十月日(相州正宗写) Masamitsu - 日本刀の通信販売 明倫産業株式会社 (nipponto.co.jp)
  22. I believe that the Masamitsu is this smith or his son. 藤澤良吉 (Fujisawa Yoshiki) in Kagawa prefecture Ref. AS20312 Tanto : Motte Eikokuji Furutetsu Masamitsu Saku Kore – 日本刀販売の葵美術 (sword-auction.com) The following article shows his son Masamitsu 2nd who succeded the smith name in 2010. 香川)現代に生きる日本刀の技と美 高松で23点展示:朝日新聞デジタル (asahi.com)
  23. I think that one name on the nakago is 池田道長 – Ikeda Michinaga, who was a student of Nankai Taro Tomotaka, though the sayagaki says it is 代田道長 – Daita Michinaga. One questionable point is that Koka 1st year started from 12th month, and the 2nd month of Koka 1st year did not exist.
