pcfarrar Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Can anyone help with a full translation of my Bizen Sukesada wakizashi. Just a few kanji I can't figure out. Also any idea if this is a real mei, I know this is a very common gimei. :lol: Thanks, Peter Quote
DirkO Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 If I'm not mistaken it's Yokoyama Kozuke Daijo Fujiwara Sukesada / Bishu Osafune Junin. I have a papered one with the same mei. Yours seems a bit off to me, especially the kanji for Osafune. The strokes don't match up to mine nor the one in Fujishiro's (which is almost the exact same as mine) Here's another shoshin example http://www.nihonto.us/Yokoyama%20Sukesada.htm Quote
pcfarrar Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks Dirk, the hamon is almost identical in style to the one on nihonto.us but I agree it doesn't match. Quote
pcfarrar Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Posted April 16, 2009 I compared the mei to one in the Kanzan Oshigata book and it didn't look so bad. Anyone else have any thoughts on this mei? Quote
