Can someone please help me with this mei

Hi Sunny,

I am presuming this is just part of a longer inscription? (maybe show us the overall pic)?

 

Anyway, it is definitely strange...not sure at all about this but here goes....

Top two characters are katakana characters (i.e. sound only...not meaning) so they read MO and RO = Moro

Third character seems to be a kanji, KYO or TOMO which has the meaning together (with).

 

So not sure, but this seems to say MOROTOMO?

Hope this helps....

Cool thanks so much for your help and time.

This kanji was by itself opposite of left side of mei of the owners name above the makers mei that is on a Hizen blade.

Not sure what you are saying Sunny....any chance of a better, overall pic?

 

PS...I lived in Vancouver on-and-off between 1969-1973 (worked in mining up at Stewart and on Queen Charlotte Is). Used to live at 1246 Haro Street, West End when in town...great memories.

I am in sunny Australia.

Regards,

George.

I was born in Saint Pauls.

Grew up on Hastings St. in East Vancouver.

This mei was on it's own on one side of the tang.

The opposite side has the owners name and below is the Hizen mei.
