Baka Gaijin Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Here's the kanji for "Oishi", "of" and "Yari" to get you started off 大石 之 槍. 1 Quote
SteveM Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 The labels for the spears are (from left to right) Mimura Jiroemon's Spear Tominomori Suke-emon's Spear (signed Kawachi no Kami Sukekuni) Isogai Masahisa's Spear (signed Yamato Dai-jo Yoshinobu) donated by Tokitō Tamemoto Hazama Mitsukaze's Spear (Katsushige?) Ōishi Nobukiyo's Spear (signed Kagehira) Hara Sōemon's Spear donated by Hara Kumakichi can't read some of the labels very clearly. 3 Quote
SteveM Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Swords from top to bottom are: Ōishi Chikara's Tantō Akabane Shigekata's Sword (signature something Masamune) nb: I can't read the kanji before Masamune Mase Kyūdayū's Sword Maebara Munefusa's Wakizashi (illegible, to me anyway) Muramatsu Takanao's Sword (no signature) Edit: Yes these are all weapons from the 47 Samurai. 2 Quote
