Kanekage 兼景

[cisco-san]

Hello,

 

I would kindly ask to correct or to confirm my translation. My reading is Kanekage 兼景 even I am unsure about the "kage 景". I am missing at least one horizontal stroke

 

Many thanks in advance

Klaus

the Mei reads KaneKage to me. are you referring to the horizontal stroke at the top of Kane?? if so there were mei signed with two vertical and one horizontal as i understand it, the Kage looks fine as i see it? what part do you think is missing in Kage? maybe another member with more experience than I will tune in for you

Sorry for unexact description.

What I meant is, that on the "Kage" on the mei one horizontal stroke is too much.

景 here you can see only one stroke in the middle of the rectangle and on the mei you can see two horizontal strokes!? But maybe I am running into a one-way street

@Klaus: The mei is ok because when writing the character "kage", you can

extend the upper box radical down to the central horizontal stroke and replace

the "dot" of the radical (亠) by a second smaller horizontal stroke. This results

quasi in the radical (且).

Dear Markus,

 

many thanks for clarification!!!

 

best regards

I would very much appreciate seeing the entire sword. I have a waki with very similar Kanekage which is signed with Mimasaka, but looks very koto-ish.

From papers it looks like these get papered to either Tensho, Kanbun or Genroku generations depending on how the blade looks like....

For me it was just a translation exercise - I have no intention to buy it.
