svarsh Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Posted January 1, 2018 Morning Uwe (evening in San Francisco, and a happy new year!) Seems like this piece belonged to you before:-). Google translate gives Yawata for the kanji. However, it is Hachiman, the God of War (God of Eight Banners). Interesting. That's the auction house description: Iron with inlays of brass. In hira-zogan technique with kebori engraving eight different family emblems (mon). An old inscription is dedicated to the deity Hachiman. Best wishes, Sergei Quote
