Marius Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 This one was fun, an inscription on a shinsaku mamorigatana which has a classic ken sugata: 守 護 剣 也 Which to me, a bloody amateur, translates as: Protective ken (this is) But I have doubts about the two kanji: 守 and 護 They seem to mean the same... "mamori" Could you please guide me a little bit? Pic of the original kanji attached. Thanks for your help Quote
