nickm Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Recently purchased a naginata naoshi with 1 strange mekugi remaining on the damaged tsuka. Any help would be appreciated Quote
SteveM Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Looks like 忠之魂 (Chu-no-tamashii) "spirit of loyalty" 1 Quote
Geraint Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 And just to be clear it's a menuki.................. All the best. 1 Quote
nickm Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 told i general forum it might be tadahide.. thoughts? Quote
uwe Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Phillip, at best “忠之.....” (Tadayuki). But then, the meaning of the third kanji is questionable. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 The grit of Tadayuki (Kuroda Tadayuki?) 忠之魂 Possibly the top stroke on the left of 魂 (kon) has broken off? 魂 is used in the title of this link about him, for example. https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2039cj/11/ Quote
nickm Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Thought I would try for a better picture. I do not think anything is broken off of it Quote
