b.hennick Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Can you please look at the image of the mei below and provide a translation? I can only get two characters and I am not sure of those ....yoshi..saku Quote
QuangD Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Hi B, I think "Seiki Ju Fujiware Kane sada saku" Quote
Nobody Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 reads, Seki ju Ishihara Yoshisada saku (関住石原義定作). His real name seems to be Ishihara Joichi (石原錠一) according to the following web page. http://www.touken-kasugado.com/faq_2.html FYI, http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/yoshsad2.jpg Quote
b.hennick Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Thank you for the translation. I have looked the smith up but find no information. Do you know when he worked? Since I have not seen the blade I can not judge jidai. Quote
Nobody Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Do you know when he worked? Since I have not seen the blade I can not judge jidai. He was registered as one of Seki sword smiths for making Showa military swords on Oct. 25th, 1939. Ref. http://www.touken-kasugado.com/faq_2.html Quote
