Grey Doffin Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 Hi guys, I know the mei is Fujiwara Yoshinaga Saku but the 2 columns of Kanji on the omote have me stumped. I think the 2 characters at the bottom of each column read Myoo, but I'm probably wrong. Can one of you give me Romaji and meaning, if not obvious, for the 2? This will be for sale, if that matters. Thank you, Grey Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 Quickly, I believe these refer to Buddhist dieties. 不动明王 refers to Fudō Myōō. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8D%E5%8B%95%E6%98%8E%E7%8E%8B#Japanese Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 愛染明王 is Aizen-Myō. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C4%81gar%C4%81ja 1 Quote
Grey Doffin Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Posted July 24, 2019 Thank you Ray, How about the paper for the koshirae. Anything of note said here? Grey Quote
Peter Bleed Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 looks like it is about the fittings, not the blade IMHO P Quote
Grey Doffin Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Posted July 25, 2019 IMHO, I expect no less from the paper for the koshirae:-) Grey 1 Quote
