Grey Doffin Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Hi guys, I'm told this hakogaki is by Dr. Sato and it goes with a namban tsuba that will be for sale. Would someone be nice enough to give me the translation (and Romanji if you're feeling extra generous); it will be appreciated. Thank you, Grey Quote
DirkO Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 nadekaku gata 撫角形 (edited, first thought I'd knew it, but need to search better) (re edit - found it!!!) Tetsu ji (iron based): 鐡地 Showa 昭和 I'll see if I can find more.... 1 Quote
DirkO Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 maru? sukashi 丸透 (not sure about first kanji) The lid seems to be by another person, maybe a previous collector (it also states similar things as mumei nanban,....) 1 Quote
b.hennick Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 GuysI'm impressed with your ability to read and translate this hakogaki. Quote
SteveM Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Funny, I just noticed that the person who wrote 鳳凰 got the kanji reversed. On the box its written mistakenly as 凰鳳 (ō coming before hō). Could be an honest mistake, as the kanji are indeed similar, but.... the great Kanzan Sato making an error like this on hakogaki?? Seems unlikely. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Posted August 28, 2015 The Hakogaki on the top of the lid with the Ho-o is likely not by Dr. Sato; someone else maybe. Grey Quote
Toryu2020 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 more likely ji-sukashi 地透かし rather than maru-sukashi im thinkin... -t Quote
DirkO Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I was thinking ji-sukashi as well, Thomas, but the kanji doesn't seem to fit - although it could just be really stylized Quote
Jean Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Question (a bit out of topic), about pronunciaion: Hakogaki or hakogake (for shirasaya it is sayagaki) and in the same way: wakizashi or wakazashi? Quote
Henry Wilson Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Hi Jean Hakogaki and wakizashi are both the correct forms. The others I think are typing mistakes. Quote
