Baka Gaijin Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Morning all, Hope I'm in the correct section. What does the term "Zokumyou signature" mean? http://www.aoi-art.com/sword/wakizashi/09062.html Cheers Malcolm Quote
nagamaki - Franco Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Zokumyou signature indicates the smith signed with his actual real name, if not mistaken. Quote
Jean Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Zokumei: 俗名 A name of the smith in addition to his regularly used name, for example, HIKOBEINOJO SUKESADA :D Quote
John A Stuart Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Zokumyo 俗名 can also mean, besides 'common name', 'vulgar name' or 'bad reputation'. Certainly in respect to Nihonto it would be the meaning you guys give it. John Quote
