NBTHK kanteisho

[MauroP]

Translating NBTHK kanteisho found on the Internet can be an effective and inexpensive way to study tsuba. I'm particularly interested in papers dealing with tsuba similar to mine.

Please see the following:

I think I succeeded in finding the right kanji, but I'm still unsure about the correct rōmaji transcription:

小菊散圖鐔 - ki kiku chishi zu tsuba

無銘 正阿弥 - mumei Shōami

木瓜形 鉄地 刻印打込 - mokkō-gata tetsu-ji kokuin uchikomu

角耳小肉 - kaku-mimi koniku

Any corrections? Thanks for reading.

maybe....

 

小菊散圖鐔 - ki kiku chishi ko-giku-bara zu tsuba

Thank you Chris.

Of course 小 - ko = small. The meaning of 小菊散 should be "scattered small chrysanthemi". The transcription you propose has the same meaning?

Bye, Mauro

Yes, I haven't changed the kanji- the meaning is the same...

[Nobody]

小菊散 - ko-giku-chirashi

Many thanks, Chris and Koichi

Best regards, Mauro
