  1. Ancient Chinese script.
  2. Mr Tensho, posted 15 September, previous page.
  3. Looks like 久 -hisa to me(?).
  4. https://yachounote.exblog.jp/241821948/ It is said that the cuckoos arrive in May in Japan from the continent for the summer months, as the snows on Mt Fuji are finally melting.
  5. Maybe Kanzui, Uwe. Edo, around Bunkyū period. In 古今金工全集 by 清水 澄 (Not listed in this book under Hiroyuki)
  6. Many of these would appear to be magnetic!
  7. It's just a copy of the registration certificate back in Japan, recording some basic physical features for their legal records.
  8. Oh, and today I found this one. Iron, ribbed. Acorns? The togishi asked if he could polish it, so I said ‘sure’! Came up nicely.
  9. 細違い角家紋 Try linking it like this with 'kamon'.
  10. Nice design. Possibly 細違い角 hoso chigai kaku.
  11. Cotton as 綿 ‘men’ was used for string, cloth weaving, etc. In the scene above however, they seem to be concentrating on bulk wata ワタ, which is the earlier process before spinning for thread/string.
  12. 10. (All for now.) iron with iron fukurin. Kaneie Mei, but it is said he did not add fukurin.
  13. 9. Tōsho tsuba, iron sukashi w/Amida yasuri.
  14. 8. Sendai, iron, signed Kiyochika. Kabuto riveting style. Katchūshi?
  15. 6,7. Two Owari (?), the right one NBTHK papered to ‘Owari’.
  16. 4,5. Two Saotome chrysanthemum wheels, iron, the larger one 9.3 x 9.3 cm.
  17. 3. Resonating with Richard’s above?
  18. 2. Thin iron plate with shinchū fukurin. Nobuie style but unsigned.
  19. Will add 10 tsuba... 1. Small iron tsuba with shihō inomé and shinchū fukurin. From handachi?
  20. Add one more, Tim!
  21. Wari-kōgai, iron. Said to be old, Muromachi (?) but I do not know enough about these. The slanting ‘shoulders’ below the ‘mimi-kaki’ may be one indication.
  22. Not to be confused with Kanemitsu 金光.
  23. Hmmm.... Nice! They look as though they are a village community making cotton wool 'wata' for stuffing bedding and winter clothing, etc..
  24. Samurai Homer in the bath by Darth19 on DeviantArt
  25. Looks like a Westerner's idea of a Kanji.
