irca Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Hi! I have a shingunto sword with seki arsenal stamp on, and I can´t read the mei, just noshu seki and ends saku. Is there someone who can help me to translate the mei, and I would be happy for the help! Best ragards Claes Quote
irca Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks Mr Koichi Moriyama! I try again with youre help, but it´s not easy. But it´s looks like some Kanefuji? or? Best regards Claes Quote
Mark Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 not Kane, close. try looking at other kanji starting with K and you will find it. Second kanji is not Uji, try looking at kanji starting with M Quote

loiner1965 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 i myself struggle too with reading kanji but i think its a great idea by letting the asker try and decipher it themselves but with a little help by guiding them to known pages etc....it can be so frustrating Quote
irca Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks Mr Koichi Moriyama and Mark Jones! Katsumasa is it! then is there little more kanji before, but I try with them later! And Yes Steve B it´s fun and better to try self to learn! Best regards Claes Quote
irca Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks!! Now I know what the mei tells, Noshu Seki Ju Kojima Katsumasa Saku. If this wrong, pleas let me know! Best regards Claes Quote
Mark Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 looks like you have solved the puzzle, good job! you can probably find some info on him. Quote
