any ideas on this mei?

[Adrian S]

I'm trying to figure out what this says, I think it may be some type of tameshigiri mei?? anybody out there got a translation for me

The characters seem to be 両曲輪落. It may reads Ryo Kuruwa Otoshi, though I am unsure about its reading. If it is a tameshigiri mei, 両曲輪 must be a name of a part of a body. But I do not know what it means.

thanks nobody, I got it now. It means "Hip Cut through"

Hi Adrian, I just noticed your logo and was wondering if you recently bought this daisho set or sold it?

Hi Adrian,

 

I found that Ryoguruma (両車) means hips in Tameshigiri mei, though I am unsure about its reading. But I could not find Ryo Kuruwa (両曲輪). Does it hava the same meaning?

[Adrian S]

You are right, I found Ryo Kuruma in hawleys but the characters are different to Ryo Kuruwa. Still don't have an answer.

 

Rabro, Yes I collect daisho fittings and I recently bought this set
