Yari Mei Help

[cuttingedge59]

Hi all

I have been working on this yari mei for a bit and have reached a point of not being able to translate the mei fully .

I have found possibly the name Yoshihisa right or wrong but after that have got a bit stuck .

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers

Skipping the first three characters for a moment, does that end in 越前作之 or 越前 for example 信定 I wonder?

 

You are suggesting Yoshihisa Oite Echizen Saku Kore?

Thanks Piers ,

To be honest after Yoshihisa I got totally lost. Not sure whether age has blurred the remaining Kanji or they were never well cut .

Any way just could not see any thing relative using the stroke count or the board kanji pages.

 

Looking at your suggestions maybe  越前作之 could fit.

But blurry but 1st two characters look like 康継(Yasutsugu) which would fit with Echizen

Yes, I could agree with that, Matt.

Hi All

After some guidiance from the other posters I have managed I think to translate the mei on this yari .

 

I think Yasutsugu Oite Echizen Saku Kore

3rd Gen Yasutsugu .
