atm Posted March 1, 2024 Report Posted March 1, 2024 I am trying to read what is inscribed on a tsuba. On the left side I think I’ve got: ku (9) jyu (10) san (3) sen (thousand) ? kore (this) My novice brain is totally stumped on the right side. Any help is much appreciated. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 1, 2024 Report Posted March 1, 2024 九十三才作之? Made this at 93 years old? (Can't figure out the top kanji. I would like it to be 加山+ 花王 (with kao), but is that a 七 above 加?) Is this a tachi tsuba? What's it made of? 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 1, 2024 Report Posted March 1, 2024 Makes sense, but I don't think I've ever seen 作 written twice before! Thank you, Moriyama San! I couldn't find any Kazan Kinko, but I looked under 茄山! Quote
