IanB Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 The attached article was written to assist members of NMB who would like to try and translate the inscriptions on their swords for themselves. There will be errors and omissions that I hope members will correct and fill. Ian Bottomley Signatures.doc 11 Quote

Jussi Ekholm Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 This article by Ian is great for starting out and beginning to learn translating mei. For those starting out do not be discouraged, it will be difficult at first. It is a slow but very rewarding (if you are into things like this) process. Just keep practicing and do repetition after repetition, there are thousands of swords online and in books that you can use for practicing. It is good to start out with easier signatures and advance to more difficult ones later. 1 Quote
