PR4964 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 If someone could help solve the fourth character in the mei I would be eternally grateful. Losing sleep trying to find a translation. So far 'Etchu no Kami ? yasu. Thanks, Peter. Quote
Mark Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 could it be Etchu (no) kami Fujiwara ____ Quote
Jacques Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Hi, As Mark says, Etchu no kami Fujiwara ???? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 The fourth Kanji looks like it has been hit and distorted, making it difficult to read. The Mei should continue 藤原 å£å£ä½œ/é€ but it looks like you've lost the name of the actual katana-kaji. Quote
PR4964 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks all for your assistance. I had a sneaking suspision it was Fujiwara but as Piers pointed out, it does look different to a normal Fuji kanji. Yasu was the closest kanji I could match to Wara. I was hoping by putting it at the end it may have triggered an out of the square response to a smith. Thanks once again. Quote
