vito2a Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Posted October 12, 2008 Hi everybody ! It would be kind if somebody acquainted with Japanese language could take some time on this "Yagyu-ish Tsuba's Mei" and share is knowledge ... Is the Mei "readable" enough ? Many thanks, Best regards. Jean-Luc Manta. Quote
Nobody Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Hi, The mei was really hard to read. I was sure only about the 2nd kanji “井â€. So, my reading for the mei is totally a guess work. ç¦äº•次左衛門 (Fukui Jizaemon) – a big name in early Edo period Ex. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/tsuba3.html Quote
vito2a Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Posted October 17, 2008 Bonjour M. Moriyama and thank you so much for the time spent on this "not so good picture". Having the original i can try to "edit" the pic to emphasis each "stroke" belonging the Mei (i will post something later). Thank you for your kind help. Best regards. Jean-Luc Manta Quote
