Translation Assistance Please For A Strange Signature
uwe replied to Bazza's topic in Translation Assistance
I would suggest "Yukimitsu". -
What about a picture of the whole helmet Simon?
-
......”mywei” is right Simon!
-
No Simon, “Myochin” isn’t mentioned in the mei! .....and “monjin” means student or pupil.
-
I can see “Izumi no Kami Fujiwara......”
-
Agree with Grey!
-
Yep, seems so!
-
Might be "Tashiro Minamoto ?......"
-
First glance on my cellphone: “Joshu ju Saotome Ietada”.
-
.... The four sections formed by the "hagi-ita" remindes me of the "shiho jiro" type, despite the absence of shinodare. Likewise the large "tehen" seems to be a reminiscence to older helmets, from the Kamakura period for example...

Hi Nick, Seve is right! This smith dates back to the mid Edo period (approximately 1751-1764). He lived in Kôchi in Tosa province and was called "Ôe". It is said that he was a student of 27th generation "Munemasa". Hope that helps a bit!

Nakago jiri isn’t Bizen!
-
I tended to “Shigemitsu”, but that was only a rough guess. Tom use oblique light for a better shot!
-
“Showa Mitsunoto Hitsuji (Haru)” not sure about the last kanji?!
-
I agree with John!
-
A pity. I harbored a little hope it could be a village or similar....
-
Ian, I wonder if Hirata was a family name, or a name of a place of some sort?!
-
Something to keep in mind Ian. Many thanks!! Now to the Hirata “thing” ????
-
I`m afraid......
-
Guess he survived Jan.... Sorry no koboshi. But I thought Anthony has promised something (fresh from the testing grounds of his backyard).....
-
Like this Jan...
-
Done!
-
John, as far as I know Asai is a family name. I found Katsumitsu (Asai Jubei, who moved to Kanazawa), Asai Katsushige and this Asai Tomoyuki. Although I don`t know if the sources can be trusted! So we have to find the connection between Hirata and the Asai. But that is another topic!

Anyway, it's nice! Rare in this condition, I assume?!
