MauroP Posted May 27, 2021 Report Posted May 27, 2021 I've had this tsuba for some years, but far too difficult for me to figure out the mei. Two kanji and a kaō, even hard to take in photo. Here my best pictures, obtained trough a flatbed scanner. Thank you for any input. Quote
SteveM Posted May 28, 2021 Report Posted May 28, 2021 When I saw the signature I first thought of Jakushi, but this isn't Jakushi. However, the second kanji looks amazingly like the sōsho version of Jaku (若). I can't read the first character. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a smith whose second syllable/character is jaku/waka? 囗若 (花押) 1 1 Quote
