Utopianarian Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Please help with signed mei and date Quote
Shugyosha Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Hi George, The date is a lucky day in February in the 5th year of Keian (慶安) = 1652. I'm struggling with the mei side so I'm no help there though. 1 Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 I think it could be - 薩州鹿児嶋住XX / 慶安五年二月吉日 - Sasshū Kagoshima jū XX (I can't identify last ones) / Keian 5 (1652) Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Can you get a better angle on the smith name? (Bottom 2 characters, top shot.) Quote
Utopianarian Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Posted April 18, 2022 Thank you John and Jussi Quote
Shugyosha Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 I want to say 行平 Yukihira for the smith's name, but I can't find a reference for one that would fit. Quote
