Baka Gaijin Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 Good afternoon all, With Brian's permission I would ask for some help. The following script and signature is cut into a military themed Bamboo root end walking stick (90cms). Cheers Quote

k morita Posted October 16, 2012 Report Posted October 16, 2012 #1 pic: 大日本神戸(or 石 )坊前 岩本刀 #3,4,5,pic: 身を千々に砕き、 骨は戦地にさら(晒)そと、ゆく(征/行)よ 御国のためなら、いと(厭)やせぬ。 やや俗っぽい表現の標語ですね、どなたか英訳頼みます。 Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Posted October 16, 2012 Morita san どうもありがとうございます。 I'll get to work on this and post my attempt later. Edited at 08.13 Local Here is my very poor attempt: 大日本神戸(or 石 )坊前 Great Japan Patriotic Truth (Fund?) 岩本刀 Iwamoto (carved) 身を千々に砕き、 骨は戦地にさら(晒)そと、ゆく(征/行)よ 御国のためなら、いと(厭)やせぬ。 Should I die, I leave only my bleached bones on the Battlefield for the Nation.
