Translation Assistance Needed For Nihonto
Edward G replied to Edward G's topic in Translation Assistance
Thank You Moriyama. This gives me some very important information which is much appreciated. Edward G. -
Good morning to all. The attached photos are of a 21 inch cutting edge Wakizashi. The mei is somewhat obscured at the bottom, to me it looks like possibly Ari Tsugu a resident of Bitchu Province? The rest is in the middle is unreadable for me. The only Smith in Hawleys with this name from Bitchu Province is ARI 210 & ARI 211 What are your thoughts? Edward G

Thank You Tom Helm & Piers D. I am grateful for this information. Edward G.

Note the elaborate engraving on the sideplate, hammer, and trigger guard. Having trouble translating the kanji on the underside of the barrel. I can make out a few of the characters in the middle as maybe Kuni Tomo Maru, but that is it. Please help with the translation. Edward G
