raynor Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Hi, I wonder if someone could help me understand these three parts of a Shinsa worksheet? The sword I submitted passed at the recent Tampa show, but not reading kanji I dont quite understand these parts. Thanks! Quote

Shugyosha Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Hi Omar, I've just seen your post. I think the last part of number 1 may be 磨つまし (migatsumashi) - 磨 means to polish or burnish. Unfortunately without the bit before it it doesn't mean very much. Number 2 is the date: 慶応 三年 - Keio san nen - third year of Keio but I think this is an error as it is written above as (and indeed is on the tang) fourth year. 1 Quote
SteveM Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 片筋違い、磨り出し Katasuji-chigai, yasuridashi (explaining the yasurime) The one above that is 無 (nashi) and it goes with the line regarding horimono. Quote
