Sayagaki Translation

Hi Jiri, I can read about 80%+ of that without using a dictionary, but from there the (somewhat) pleasurable hard work of checking and double-checking every Kanji and Jukugo with their possible meanings would start.

 

May I ask how you ended up buying a sword, with a relatively new shirasaya and brushwork, about which you know nothing? (Not even the smith?) :shock:

刀銘日州国正作平成二十九年夏


備前祐定皆焼に倣う複式互の目丁字刃文板目肌の地金其我意を十分に現す会心作也
於日向国平岩郷松葉景一路国正平成二十九年五月八日

 

Mei: Nisshū Kunimasa  Heisei 29 Summer

 

A heartfelt work that well expresses the desire to replicate the hitatsura of Bizen Sukesada, with undulating chōji and itame hada
Hyūga, Hiraiwa city, Matsuba Ichirō Kunimasa. Heisei 29, May 8th.

 

Nisshū is the old province of Hyūga, now part of Miyazaki prefecture. Great sword.
