yogoro Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Please assistance in translating the kanji on the attached tsuba with arrowshead motif. Quote
Nobody Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 The mei reads … 江府淺草住 (Efu Asakusa ju) 正栄 +kao (Masahide/Shoei?) – unsure about its correct reading Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Personally I like the tsuba and the way the holes work for both the arrowheads and the tsuba itself. If you are wanting a translation of Koichi san's translation, it means "Masahide/Shoei, resident at Asakusa in Efu, created this". The Kao at the end is his particular version of a maker mark. Quote
