bjmoose Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Hi folks. I'm somewhat new to this fascinating world of Nihonto. I really like this message board - it's packed with tons of info! I have acquired a Wakizashi with NBTHK origami. There's also an inscribed Kogatana that came with it. Would someone be kind enought to translate the Paper and the inscription for me? Many thanks in advance! - ian Quote

I'll try to figure out the date. Any idea regarding the name of the owner at the time it was awarded? Man! I've got to try to find someone up here who can teach me Japanese! - ian Quote
