Donjohn Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, I'd appreciate any assistance in my quest to better understand Nihonto. I picked up this wakizashi about 9 months ago and finally got around to translating the mei. I would appreciate any assistance in confirming my translation attempt. I believe it says Bishu Osafune Tsukuru Sadayuki. When doing research on this name, there are several Sadayuki's in the Bizen tradition. Any help from someone with an oshigata book or material on Bizen Sadayuki's would be appreciated. Sincerely, Don J. Quote
