Bugyotsuji Posted March 9, 2021 Report Posted March 9, 2021 There are some examples of signature styles and dates on Tachi etc., by Bizen Osafune Kanemitsu 兼光 at the bottom of this page of background information. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/備前長船兼光 Quote
Utopianarian Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Posted March 9, 2021 Piers I am still trying to get better at translation of dates. I very much admire your skill set. I still can’t make out the date. Your translation makes sense. I think I have many more Years ahead of me to improve. You give me motivation Quote
