Kanji Translation

[Justin]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help with these translations?

 

One picture appears in the post. For the other (Teppo2.jpg), you need to click on 'Download'.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The second photo;

Go shu Kunitomo Kojuro (江州國友戸十郎),

? ? (當草) (cannot understand what it means)

 

 

notes;

Kunitomo is a place name in Go shu. Other descriptions may be names of makers except 當草.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu Moriyama-san.

 

Am I right in saying that Go Shu is the colloquial name for Omi province?

 

Attached is an inscription from another teppo - are you able to translate this for me also?

 

Thanks again

Justin

Yes, Go shu (江州) is an alias of Omi no kuni (近江国).

 

As for the next translations;

 

the left one;

Yoshida Yahee saku (吉田弥兵衛作); made by Yoshida Yahee

 

the right one;

makihari (巻張); wrapping in a spiral (seems to be a process in making a barrel)

Hi KM,

 

Please send me a private message with your email address and I'll send some photos. I would put them on the board, but they are quite big and would take too long to resize and post them.
