This is really very simple and you should easily have been able to translterate this mei yourself. However it is: NOSHU KANEHISA SAKU and SHOWA JUHACHI NEN HACHI GATSU ( 1943)

I agree at least work on the smith, Kane is easly found ...what books do you have. Maybe find a Japanese Samurai Sword by John Yumoto and work on kanji from his book or check with Grey Doffen for his flash cards.

i apologize for my laziness. i have many of the entry level books on nihonto, including mr. sinclaire's "samurai" book, but i have never picked up yumoto and i don't have a book that has a lot of kanji or mei.

 

thank you for the help.

Joe Pierre,

 

No need to have this book, you have a link on NMB to Nihonto Kanji Page, very easy to handle

[drjoe]

for some reason, my computer has recently stopped displaying kanji. all of the characters are now blank boxes...

 

i don't suppose anyone knows how to remedy that?

[drjoe]

never mind... you'll be happy to know i found the answer on the same page! thanks...

there seem to be many different Kanehisa's during the showa period. i don't have a copy of John Slough's oshigata -- what is the best way to determine more about the maker here?

 

the hamon on this blade is quite interesting... would this be the best place to post it, or should i create a new post in the different section?
