Paragraph translate help on Funada Ikkin tsuba?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone could translate this paragraph about Funada Ikkin for me. Specifically I'm looking for anything about the tsuba shown at the bottom and if there's info on whether it's by the shodai/1st gen or nidai/2nd gen Funada Ikkin?

Thanks,

Tony

I think it's the first generation. A translation of the whole piece is a bit beyond me, but in the first line it has 船田一琴 (義長) 筆頭 Funada Ikkin (Yoshinaga) fudegashira,  referring to Yoshinaga as head of the family/ first in line, and I can't see any reference in the piece to Yoshimori his son, the nidai, but no doubt you'll get some better information soon.

Yes, the paragraph is about the Ichijo disciples, and not specifically about Funada Ikkin, other than the one sentence mentioning he was the top student of Ichijo. 

As John says, the picture doesn't mention specifically which Funada Ikkin, but the text only mentions Yoshinaga so one can assume the tsuba pictures is a 1st gen Ikkin (aka Yoshinaga) tsuba.

Aww, thanks guys! I recently saw the tsuba on sale and noticed it had the Funada Ikkin Kao of the 2nd gen so wanted to see what the book said. I think the book might be wrong or just assumed the first gen since the Kao on this tsuba looks like the 2nd gen.

...also, if you haven’t seen it, Darcy has a papered example on his web site. 

Yep, I check his site almost daily. This one is papered TH too, but with far older papers. Doesn't say if it's 1st gen or 2nd gen. I'll pm you.
