Jock Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 Hi Stephen, Thanks to you I found a few kanehisa smiths - but I can't find the first 2 kanjis - please help Regards, Jock Quote
Gunome Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Hello, first kanji remind me "tan" so maybe "tanshu" ? Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Hi,it reads Tamba Kanehisa saku:Hawley KAN 997,a Showa swordsmith from Gifu.Ludolf Quote
Nobody Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 The first two kanji read Niwa (丹羽), which is a common family name. Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Hi,Koichi Moriyama is right and Hawley is wrong!Hawley made these 2 Kanji read "Tamba".There are at least 3 Gifu swordsmiths with these 2 Kanji,e.g.Niwa Shuji Kanenobu.They all used only the Niwa-part of the name in their Mei.I could not find the 2nd part of Kanehisa's name in the books.Ludolf Quote
