Civilis Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Won an auction yesterday for a wakizashi, got a yari as a bonus, or maybe the other way around Been trying to decipher the mei, I got Yoshi Nao so far, am I right? Also there are a couple of more kanji on the sayagaki, any help on those is very welcome. Quote
NihontoEurope Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Hello, Someone has carved in "Yoshinao", so you did ok :-) /Martin Quote
cabowen Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 The sayagaki reads: Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi. The mei on the yari is "Yoshimichi". WIshfull thinking perhaps. Quote
Nobody Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I think that the carving is Yoshimichi - 丹波守吉道槍 (Tanba no kami Yoshimichi yari). Quote
NihontoEurope Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Of course it is Yoshimichi ... my bad Martin Quote
Civilis Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Posted March 26, 2013 Oke thanks for the correction, the sayagaki looked pretty poorly done so no suprises so far. The yari and the sayagaki looked very familar to me, maybe I saw it on a dealersite or ebay a while back. Quote
