Guido Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 Better pictures are needed, but while I agree with Peter’s reading of Yoshimitsu 吉光 on the nakago, the sayagaki seems to say (zaimei) Yoshitada (在銘) 吉忠??? Quote
k morita Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 The sayagaki says:在銘 (zai-mei/signed blade)生忠 (ubu-nakago/an original nakago) 長七寸五分五リン(厘) (blade length: 22.87cm/9in) 4 Quote
Peter Bleed Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 I was challenged by the sayagaki. I got the "zaimei" but kept trying to see the "tada" character as a complex rendering of "mitsu" And, of course, I was wrong. This saya gaki seems like a banker certifying that your account contains a "three dollar bill." Peter Quote
