JimC Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks for any help provided on this sword I acquire. Jim Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Sounds nice. To save time, how much do you already know? Quote
JimC Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 Sounds nice. To save time, how much do you already know? To be very honest with you I don't know much I think it is the period 1532, attribution Kanekuni possibly Kanekuni? itame possibly Mokume? Not good at all with Japanese sorry Jim Quote
John A Stuart Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 That's pretty good. Kanekuni, Mino no Kuni. Tenbun period. John Quote
JimC Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 That's pretty good. Kanekuni, Mino no Kuni. Tenbun period. John Thanks, John but what all does it say about the sword? Would love to get a full translation Jim Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Since no-one is taking this any further than John above, I will have a shot to move the game forwards, although some of it is not clear to me. So, without taking any responsibility, and hoping to learn from the exercise... Paper One. NTHK paper Heisei 22 8/24, Den Kanekuni. Paper Two. Wakizashi, Mumei 1 shaku 4 Sun 7 Bu (+?) Kitae Itame nagare, Hamon Nie Sho Gunome Kissaki/Boshi?, Sugu, Komaru, Chushin Ichi (one hole?) Taka no Ha Mino no Kuni, Tenbun koro. Quote

The "one" in the comments section makes no sense- it would seem to refer to the number of mekugi ana yet there are clearly two..... Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks Chris, I am doing a rolling edit of my post above yours, but will stop as of now!!! Quote
Shugyosha Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Apologies if this is a silly question. When reading the date on this item I too thought "Ten Bun" and then went to check the year in the Kanji pages on the board and read "天文 Tenmon 1532". For the purposes of my education, could someone please explain whether or not this is a typo on the kanji pages or an alternative reading of the 文 kanji? Thanks for your trouble. Quote
leo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 If you simply google the era names, you will find it at Wikipedia. There it says Tenbun or Tenmon for 1532. Regards, Martin Quote
Guido Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 My Japanese dictionaries say that both readings てんぶん and てんもん are possible. Quote
