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!

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.

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
