Translate Cursive Signature

[KingKo]

Hi Guys

 

Not sure on this one, any ideas?

[Mark]

I think Sukenao? (Tsuda) student for Sukehiro

[KingKo]

Does the signature look good?

[Veli]

Oite Bushu Kanda Yasunori Tsukuru???

於武州神田保則造

 

Veli

[cabowen]

Not sure about the "nori" part without looking in the Meikan but I think Veli has nailed the rest for sure...

[Nobody]

Maybe Yasufusa (保房).

[k morita]

Hi,

Veli is right reading. Yes, the mei is Yasunori 保 則 , NOT Yasufusa.

 

See [Nihonto meikan]on page 1070 (attached pic).

Yasunori is Shinto smith.

[Nobody]

I was wrong. Yes, I find it Yasunori.

Hey KingKo,

You should have written on your first posting that the blade was an eBay item.

 

 

KM,

Thanks for the Link.

The date is "Spring,the 4th year of Meiwa " Made in 1767.

KingKo,

 

Please sign all your posts by a first name and an initial as per the Board rules.

 

Morita san is right, you should have stated that the sword was on ebay.

[Stephen]

looks like a good candidate for a cane sword, bit of polish here, bit of mounting there.

My mistake, I did not see in the rules that I needed to say where the sword was from. New here.

A slight understatement?

[kusunokimasahige]

Rather an overstatement....

Howdy,

 

Now that the sale is over, I wanted to ask about the two small characters to the right of the date. I can't decide if they are hentaigana or kanji. Maybe 生大? though if so I'm not quite sure how to translate it. Any thoughts?

 

Much obliged,
