Ron STL Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 I have been studying a shinshinto wakizashi with includes the "special ordered by" inscription. The 2nd kanji (right below the ana) needs explaining to accurately understand the inscription. I've asked a knowledgeable friend, but how this is read (before the patron's name) remained not clearly understood. Perhaps a NMB member who is fluent in Japanese can help? Let's see what happens. Appreciate clearing this reading up, if only for my records. Ron STL Quote
Ron STL Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Posted May 4, 2021 21 hours ago, Nobody said: 服 (Fuku) - A rare Japanese family name. That is so very interesting. I suppose it telling up that SADAYOSH is an old established family, and obviously a patron of Naokatsu in his early days. Thank you very much Moriyama san for identifying this for me. Ron STL 1 Quote
