Hello all,

 

More curious then anything else, but the following is a shot of the Nakago of a sword of interest to me.

Any help with translation would be of great help.

 

Thank you in advance for your assistane.

Great, thank you both.

 

The sword is on a Japanese auction site, but I still cannot get clear information as to whether I can bid, win, then ship to Thailand without issues.

It appears that considerable paperwork is required to release a sword out of Japan, and having no in country contacts, I'm thinking it is not worth pursuing.

 

More research is needed.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks all for the info.

 

John, is Kelly Hicks currently living in Japan?

 

However, this auction house blocks international bidders and refuses to ship out of Japan, so most likely a moot point.

 

It would appear that if you are not physically IN Japan or have a in country contact {like Kelly Hicks mentioned above?}, it is simply too difficult to cut thru the paperwork to ship a sword out of Japan.
